It's no longer a priority for me. My gaming activities are mostly racing and flight simulators. I don't do any video encoding to speak of.
Up and running now after this last year's hardware "episodes" (like the static-charge with my vaping pen), I don't see much need for anything faster than this Kaby-Lake systems @ 4.9Ghz. As for overclocking, I don't think 4.9 makes that much difference over the stock settings. I use half my 32GB of 3200 RAM for caching NVME, SATA SSD and HDDs in the system, and there's a 250GB NVME caching the slower drives. I don't have to wait for anything.
I'm a bit weary of "keeping up". I need my computer(s) to manage my money and documents, communication, entertainment. I'm not going to notice much difference in getting an 11th-gen INtel processor, new motherboard and RAM.
I don't know anyone in my non-Anandtech circle of friends who is salivating over some 10th or 11th-gen octo-core system. My dentist buys corporate IT asset recycles, running older Xeon systems. My friend the retired Navy electronics tech is still using a Core-2-Duo desktop, and his laptop selections are older than five years. My friend across town who used to work in the IT department of a local junior college also buys old computers -- three at a time he said recently -- but he's not rocking anything more than quad-core systems in OEM boxes.
I"ll tell ya what I'm thinking about, though! I might want a new Android tablet for my SUV audio and navigation system. Maybe a Samsung. But again -- that's saying I "want" it, but the need is not so great that I can't wait a couple months.
