Pretty good price for a budget socket 1700 system. This is pre Raptor Lake issues so this should have no issues with the degradation and crashing that impacted the later high core count chips.

Would this be a good upgrade from a 11600k? Or minimal increase

Probably not a big enough increase to justify a new motherboard as well.

Manufacture Refurbished MSI Z690-A DDR4 [ebay.com] with 2 year all-state warranty $91.99 or "Make Offer" on ebay can reuse the DDR4 from 11600K

Sold by MSI Partner so Manufacture Refurbished Motherboards include 180-day Manufacturer Warranty also.

Might be good for a budget gaming rig or office build. Wouldn't touch intel with their constant socket changes. Meaning if you wanted to upgrade in a few years, you'd have to get a new motherboard.

Minimal, and you lose the iGPU.

Bartlett Lake looks like reselling the Defective Silicon from Raptor Lake with E-Cores disabled. Don't appear to be anything above 8P Cores currently only showed Core 5 with 6P cores.

I have this processor on a PC I built 2 or 3 years ago. I have Patriot DDR4 memory running at 4000hz and the PC does very well.

This is sadly one of the few good desktop CPUs Intel has released in the past 5 years. 13th and 14th gens are DQ'd for frying themselves, and Arrow Lake is just not it. I'd personally go AMD but nothing they offer beats this price.
