So the obvious follow-up question is: Is there a significant performance drop going back to the 12th-gen processors? I realize this is sort of an unknown, given your statement about benchmark validity, but I've been completely out of the loop on processor developments in recent years. I'm not looking for bleeding-edge, but I don't want to buy something that's already obsolete.
You should be fine with the current gen Intel CPUs since the microcode updates were made available.
