Zen 4 vs Raptor lake gonna be crazy. But I do think we are at that point where unless you do something other than gaming, getting anything over 5600 or 12400 won't really matter too much for gaming. Realistically, you can keep using 5600 or 12400 until the next console generation and then upgrade to the new CPU and instead, spend the money upgrading the GPU or monitor.

I would rather opt for the 5700X/12700 non-k to make sure I don't run into a core bottleneck if I plan to use the CPU for several years.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy a CPU with less cores and threads than a PS5 / Xbox Series console.

That could backfire in new multiplatform games after the (console) crossgen phase.
