    Engineered on the new Cypress Cove architecture, 11th Gen Intel Core S-series desktop processors are designed to transform hardware and software efficiency and increase raw gaming performance​. The new architecture brings up to 19% gen-over-gen instructions per cycle (IPC) improvement2 for the highest frequency cores and adds Intel® UHD graphics featuring the Intel® Xe graphics architecture for rich media and intelligent graphics capabilities. That matters because games and most applications continue to depend on high-frequency cores to drive high frame rates and low latency.

    I'd jump on it, but I'm holding out for socket 1700, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and 10 nanometer on Alder Lake in maybe a year.

    I guess socket 1200 will be quite short-lived.

    That's the one I'm waiting on as well.

    Only thing that has me spooked is that I will have shameful early adopter impulses and may end up in motherboard hell.

    I'd hope I can resist for a few months, but that may be futile. I haven't upgraded since 2017.

    I hear you. I'd like to see how the new 10nm and chipset fairs after a bit before diving in.

    I was tempted to wait for Alder Lake as well, but my last desktop PC is 4th Gen i7 so I really need an upgrade . Besides, there is ALWAYS something newer and better just around the corner, so if I were to wait for the next great thing I would never build a system.

    Also, mining has been really good to me so I'm funding a new system from mining proceeds. Have all the parts here on hand or in transit with the exception of the i9-11900K. I'm hoping to be able to grab one on the 30th if I get very, very, lucky.

    I'm going whole hog this time around with 128GB DRAM, multiple NVMe SSDs, and I plan to add an 8TB SATA SSD in the next month or two.

    Great fun!

    I am skipping this generation too. I still have an older i7-5960x

    I am seriously thinking about upgrading to the i9-11900K next month. Want to see some reviews before I make a final decision.
