intel chips suck now

edit: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html

Do you need to run 10 VMs at once, or play flight sim in VR (and already have a 3080 or whatever)? If not, you’re good

You are good and would have been good with a slower CPU as well.

Should be no problem for that chip. But possible 4K display could stress that chip (and more powerful ones) without a discrete GPU

It's fine, but outdated by a few years now. I would get something with an AMD Ryzen cpu.
