6700K gang here. I passed on the PC to a family friend for them to use in their office :D

The i5-14600K costs 1/4 at $327 and is still way faster than the w5-3425.

You would be a fool to buy the KF, it’s even in the name!

The igpu does a lot more than just hang out as a backup. It can use its efficient encoders and decoders to playback videos or video editing scrubbing.

Also the sweet spot CPU is now the 14700K. It also supports the Intel Game Boost.

It won’t hurt you if you try. Windows comes with all the drivers for the basic functionality. Just backup your data before trying. If it boots, then go in and uninstall all the AMD stuff. If it doesn’t or you see horrible performance issues then you’ll need to reinstall windows.

Windows naturally has the basic drivers ready to use any CPU. For example, I have an Intel system and never had AMD, yet the AMD K8 processor driver and AMD processor drivers among other AMD drivers by Microsoft are there and ready to go when needed.

six generations is a good time.
