Simple reason - it's easier to develop for it, and it's advancing rapidly again. ![]() Just the opposite of what the crowd tends to say. I strongly suspect that single thread performance will become much more important in the future. I have one big reservation on Gen 10, and saying that as someone who just picked up a 10850K. We've seen leaks but not much in terms of real products with Zen 3 laptop parts and Tiger Lake H45 yet. The next big things we're likely to see from Intel and AMD will probably be in the laptop space. ![]() Keep in mind that there is nothing yet to replace Intel's HEDT 109XX HEDT CPUs, and I doubt there will be until AL. I think 10th gen will continue to be made in volume alongside 11th gen until Q4 at a minimum, and maybe longer. They've even released some new SKUs on 10th gen in Q1 2021. Maybe we will get a chip that actually deserves to be called an i9 again. I buy whatever I find interesting so if it's actually decent I may pick it up assuming DDR5 isn't too stupidly priced at launch. ![]() Other than people who really need a cpu bad everyone who loves them some team blue should be waiting for Alderlake which will probably offer 80% more MT performance and better ST vs rocketlake while being on a much more future proof platform. Not sure why people are panic buying on ebay nothing is overly hard to get other than Zen 3 and I mostly think that is due to scalpers being able to make a decent profit on 3 out of the 4 chips that now even Microcenter is getting in on the action. Although in this current whacky market I sold a 2600X for $180 and a 3600X for $225 used. Once 10th gen sells out I doubt used pricing will be all that good I sold a 6700K ($190)/8700k ($220)/9900k ($360) recently and to me that really isn't cheap considering you can get current gen chips for similar $$$ that are better for only a little more and in the case of the 9900k a 10850k for less.
