I will continue using my i9 13900 because the specifications are identical, with only a slight .02% increase in speed on the 14900. Intel should have made more significant changes, perhaps adding more quad cores or P cores or threads. Maybe they could have improved the onboard graphics card as well. In my opinion, after reading the new 14th gen CPU specs, it doesn't seem like it's worth the upgrade, unless you're migrating from a much older Intel CPU. I build my own computers.
