well zen3 was already 10-15% faster then intel 12th gen clock for clock. change that number to a 25% advantage clock for clock and ramp up the clock speeds to intel speeds and zen4 will bury 12th gen.

I was waiting for 11 years to find a decent successor for my i5-2500K@4.8 which is still rooolling strong. Maybe this will be it.

Lol, how's it working for you with just four threads?
I couldn't even run discord as it would utilize an entire thread and gaming was affected.
I had it for 2011-2018 but games started to run too poorly since 2016. Upgraded to 2700x in 2018 and all has been fine. I will upgrade next year.

Did you have it overclocked? Did you use 2133mhz 16gb ram? I don't run anything in the background when gaming, because it can cause FPS stutter. I can run everything including newest AAA games at 50-75 FPS, that is my freesync range, 1070TI.

Worthless comparison. This has to be compared to Raptor Lake, not Alder Lake.

Came here to say I'm also still running my i5-2500K. Will probably finally upgrade once Zen 4 is released.

Zen4 should be a good option. Most likely again longer socket support than what Intel gives. Not as long as (AM4, because it did cause some problems to have support that long...), but in anyway option to improve if needed. Also because Zen4 is purely optimized to DDR5 instead of having both, it can have edge in the size of memory controller compared to Intel.
And also nice to see Apples to Apples comparison when both companies use same memory option again 😉
