The survey doesn't display results. Options available are: 7th to 8th generation, 8th to 9th generation, 9th to 10th generation, 10th to 11th generation.
11th gen mobile is good, I actually use one. 11th gen desktop is rather disappointing when you get to the higher end i7 and i9 chips, but the i5 is good Low power 8th gen chips are still being sold brand new in a lot of laptops and 2 in 1s, so there must be some sort of positive there I've rarely seen 9th gen chips being sold in laptops, aside from the higher power versions in gaming laptops, so those must have been a fairly mediocre upgrade from 8th gen 10th gen was actually pretty good, and it put a decent amount of distance between 10th and 8th gen, which the 9th gen didn't do so well 9th gen desktop chips were good, I actually use one of them too Intel just needs to get desktop and higher powered chips over to 10nm, which they've definitely not been able to do yet... If you ignore AMDs existence entirely, I'd say 10th gen desktop and mobile and 11th gen mobile have been the best so far It'll be interesting to see what 12th gen brings. Hopefully they've got something good up their sleeves
From the 7th to the 8th round of your poll, but the most significant change came from the first to the second generation. Sandybridge stood out because of its extreme overclock potential. The diminishing returns likely began there. My previous high-performance 3770k (Ivy Bridge) was about on par with a 6700k. The 2nd and 3rd generations were also powerful. Back then, AMD wasn’t close to Intel in terms of performance.
