Question Should I still avoid Intel CPUs?

[heavy-reign]

I'm currently on a 10600K and was think of upgrading, but should I still be avoiding 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs? Or did Intel address those issues?

You could upgrade to 12th Gen but I'd avoid 13th and 14th Gen.

Intel released bios patches to solve those problems:

It mostly depends on what you're looking for and how much effort you want to go to. Intel claims to have resolved the issues and while I think it's likely they have the only real indicator is going to be time. If you're looking midrange a 13600K/14600K is probably a relatively safe choice either way.

I wouldn't suggest the 14700K/13900K/14900K unless you were willing to do some stress testing/voltage monitoring with potentially some manual tweaking.

You can upgrade to 10700k, 10900k or 11700k, 11900k without changing motherboard.

BTW Intel is releasing next gen Core Ultra 7 265, Core Ultra 9 285 shortly.
Probably should delay your upgrade plans till then.
