I just got a new Core i9 laptop. Guess what? I don't notice a significant speed improvement in my normal work flow because most of the tools I use are single core apps and each core runs only marginally faster than my 10 year old laptop. Intel is not producing a product that makes people go wow.
Consider I'm running an OS that is a big fucking pig and sucks a ton of power from the CPU. My apps are generally text editors, email and browers. They run fine on a Core i3. Now i wish i had bought a Ryzen 9. It has fewer cores, but faster ones.
Did I say fuck intel? Fuck Intel!
I have the Ryzen 7 3800X and I doubt I'll feel the need to update anytime soon. My laptop is an i7 and it's a nice little machine. Sucks power though, battery life is a joke, but it does have a 3070 in it as well.
