Not really a great improvement if it is just 5.7% single core and 11.2% multi core compared to 13th Gen. I don't think that justifies the cost of the upgrade for people running 13th Gen, especially if some of this uplift is RAM related. I don't know what the uplift was going from 12th Gen to 13th Gen, but maybe there is a better scaling achieved going from 12th to 14th Gen?
I guess this will be a case of YMMV.

It's not like upgrading a CPU from a gen to next one ever mattered. It's more like every 3 to 5 gens to see something significant. Maybe there is one outlier, the 5800X3D.

People on 12gen maybe can justify upgrading but arrow lake 15gen being significant upgrade i'd probably wait.

But since that will bring with it a new socket and exclusive support for DDR5, this might be an expensive upgrade as it would require a new CPU, motherboard and in some cases new RAM modules.
I personally waited quite a few years before I upgraded my Sandy Bridge i7 2600K to a Ryzen 7 3800X, as the Intel updates were marginal at best and the 2600K was stably running at 4.3 GHz 24/7.

I really do not see a reason for 12th and 13th gen owners to update ...well update on the same rangr like 12600 to 13600 or 14600.... now 12600 to say 14700 or 900 that's a whole other story

Never buy into refreshes unless you desperately have to. That said, subject to real world benchmarks, this might be interesting for 12th gen owners who aren't keen on buying into a new socket a year from now.

Some people like buying new stuff,I am know a guy that is like that.
