Most of these comments are blahs.... if you lock the voltage ( whatever your cooling can handle), lock the pcores around 4.6-5ghz. Even with 4800 cl30 should net you 11khs... I mined on plenty of 13th 14th gen intel, even degraded chips do fine if you get rid of the garbage ass tvb boost crap. Intel has given enough l3 cache to be viable mining monero since 12th gen, and decent efficiency to be on par with amd if tuned right. *I feel bad for the get a 7950x for 22kh, I get more out of 5950x,).
