To which Bf2K+ replies...

I built a new i9-12900K pachine in August. Shortly after, the i9-13900K
came out.  What I read about it was  a 5% speed improvement at twice the
power consumption (12th gen = 125W; 13th gen = 250W). IF these numbers
are correct (cause I don't always believ everything I read), I'll stick
with the 12th gen and save power.
