Kind of a dumb question but I’m genuinely curious: is this a worthwhile upgrade? I run a server with a single vm and a few dozen docker containers. I’m intrigued by performance and efficiency cores and whether there would be a noticeable effect on both energy efficiency and performance vs the 12th gen. I’ve looked at the cpu benchmark comparison and see the numbers and there looks like a big increase in performance with little downside other than the cost of doing it. Any input is appreciated.

    I appreciate the info! My 12500 has been great to be honest but 13th gen just seems like such a performance jump with the same power draw. The Intel UHD 770 is a beast of an iGPU. I’ve had it for a couple years now and I am still blown away by the efficiency and quality compared to the P1000 that I had before.
