It’s been nearly 8 years since I’ve built up a new machine. Before prices sky rocket more I’m considering upgrading. Just curious what the current 7 series intel equivalent is ? I see core series now ?

For me I’ll only build a machine to game with. I’m not into video editing and I don’t run any home servers. For anything else I’d just happily keep using m2 Mac Mini.
Benchmarks only get so much value for me. It scored 2490 Thorbles you say? Oh that’s wonderful ! What’s a Thorble ??
For me it’s more helpful with human experience. How does it work daily ? How is it with games stability wise ? Brands matter little bit as the setup between them can be different.
In the past historically I’ve been let down by AMD processors so I for personal reasons shy away.
I’m hoping to spend under 2500 dollars if I can help it. Reusing components where I can.
I mean technically there is nothing wrong with my existing machine. It works great just staring to fall behind. Would need a new motherboard no matter what I did so I minus well price this out / consider this a near new build.
Look for benchmarks on games you actually play (or at least similar ones). That’s way more useful and practical than the artificial tool scores.
I just did a web search for a popular GPU model + “benchmarks” and the very first result was a Tom’s Hardware page showing how it scores (in frames per second) against a 17 different models and 14 popular games with common resolution/quality settings.
