I mean getting almost the same game performance for half the power of the 14900K in many cases isn't a bad thing IMO depending on what you're after.. as an upgrade from recent intel CPUs yeah that sucks. But if you're updating from many generations ago and the choice is between a 14900K and a 285K and you're not going to care about the 285K only being able to do 900fps instead of 1000fps in Valorant like the 14900K (or are ok with slightly lower fps on average than the 14900K) then it still seems like a reasonable option.

Unless you throw AMD into the choices then the 285K still doesn't really match the 7800X3D and the 9800X3D is imminent.

But part of me hopes that enough people buy the new intels so they can continue to improve and become relevant without doubling as my space heater.
