14th gen

[shoutingsteve]

So, in about a week intel's 14th gen will be released.  I heard tales that the 11th gen intel chips were garbage, people stating that they were slow and dumped a lot of heat.  My 4770 system is starting to have hiccups, so this would be the perfect time to upgrade.  Is there any incite into how the new generation will stack up?  I know that nobody can be sure until some real world users start to report on the experience, but did the 11th gen have any red flags that this 14th gen also has?

There's nothing 'wrong' with it, since it is not really a new gen, it is just a refresh. The 14700 is the most interesting because the core count has been bumped.

11th gen CPUs aren't terrible, they just didn't perform that well compared to 10th gen and have higher power consumption for not much benefit.
