I assume we’ll still need the 32 bit libraries to play 32 bit games, which at this point is probably just older games that will never be updated. I guess it depends on what you like to play, but I’ll be stuck with them for some time yet.
These are only “new” chips in a marketing sense.
From a tech standpoint, they’re more or less the same chips that Intel was making for LGA1700 3-4 years ago refreshed with a new name and model number. They may have slight tweaks to the clocks and the core configs, but other than that there’s really nothing new about them. It’s the same silicon that Intel launched back in 2022.
The only reason Intel is doing this is because LGA1700 supports DDR4 and that’s kept the demand for it alive with how expensive DDR5 is now.
Cause the battery life sucks.
