I was worried that all the bragging by the new CPUs from Intel and AMD, with their high core and thread count, and higher speeds, would cause some depression, and maybe even acting out, or suicidal thoughts, for my i7 6700, and that would carry over to its gaming duties where it then would no longer be able to maintain 60 fps with my gaming library.
It looks like I underestimated its stoicism, for it carries on without any complaint, let alone any whimpering or needing a moment to have a good cry.
Barring any sudden catastrophe with it, or the ecosystem it lives in, neither Intel or AMD will be seeing any Babel bucks from me in the next few months.  |

I am on a 6700hq which is a slower mobile version and its been fine for me. PUBG is a very CPU dependent game and when I am getting 80 fps top streamers on their newer model desktop CPUs are getting 150+ fps. For sure at a disadvantage.
However when I was still playing PUBG every single day I would usually win my first or second day of the game. Most other games don't require nearly as much CPU.
I have been debating going back to AMD but there is no real need. I have been streaming Witcher 3 locked at 60 fps and even with the overhead of OBS it still runs great so why upgrade?

I built a high-end PC with a 7700K cpu last year. But I spend more time gaming on PS4 (imo, the exclusives are far more interesting).
Further, I could argue that Nintendo Switch exclusives (despite being PG-13) are more interesting than typical cookie-cutter AAA PC games. imo, Japanese consoles still dominate the gaming market for a reason. NIN-TEN-DO! hahah...
