If you didn't know Intel has announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 15,000 roles, which represents 15% of its total employees. This decision is part of a broader strategy to achieve $10 billion in cost savings by 2025. While these measures may be necessary for Intel's financial health, they also introduce uncertainty regarding the continued development and support of their products, particularly in areas like Arc GPUs and future CPU generations.
Moreover, Intel has a history of disappointing its customers, and recent issues with the 13th and 14th generation CPUs suggest that this pattern may be repeating. The combination of these factors makes it difficult to justify investing in Intel products at this time, as the long-term support and reliability of these products are in question. I only hope that Intel recovers from this sooner rather than later and comes back strong - competition is good for the consumer.

Some sources are saying even laptop chips from 13th+ gen are having significantly higher failure rates than previous gen.
This particular chip is 11th gen so no problem there. However, it's a crappy deal. It's noticably slower in both multicore and single core performance than the i7-12700K chip that often sells for $180. This 11900K for $250 is not a good deal in comparison.
My last personal build was an i7-12700K. For those looking, Amazon currently has it for $200. Amazon also has the i7-12700KF for $189.
