 Tr> Current i3 will run circles around an i7 from a couple generations back.

With Intel's Core "i" series, it seems just a generation or 2 doesn't make a whole lot of difference.  I've even seen Intel ads where they were comparing a current processor of theirs with a processor from 7 yaers ago (or something) to show what significant progress it had made.

My main desktop PC at home has an i9-9900K, and the PC my BBS runs on has an i7-8700K.  I've done some video transcoding on both PCs with the same software, using the same settings, and the i9-9900K is only 1-2fps faster at that than the i7-8700K. One difference, though, is that I was using Windows on the 9900K PC and Linux on the 8700K PC..
