I bought it about 6 years ago, If I decided to update, and I'm not sure I
do, what processor/chipset need to get similar/better performance?
A not very detailed investigation doesn't seem to turn up anything with similar performance (admittedly based just on clock speed) let alone faster.
I have just spend 24 hours finding drivers for the SMBus and Intel >Management Engine because a Windows (10) update overwrote the proper
drivers, anyway fixed now.
Around 2018 the internal interconnects in Intel chips got a biiiig
upgrade, so if you need faster multicore stuff it could make a
significant boost - at the same clock speeds. An i3 12xx series is going
to be considerably faster than an i5-7600K (the top end i5 at the time
you and I bought our machines) despite having lower clock speeds, for >instance.

Many thanks Jaimie :-)
The only multi core app I have is Cinebench which I occasionally run on
the HP Z620 just to see 24 cores in action!
I posted an update on the driver issue, may be worth your checking Device Manager. I found lots of reports of the issue when I was trying to find
what caused it but haven't seen any general reports of it.
It's OK. I'm an atheist catholic.- deKay and Gareth Halfacree, ugvm
So you just feel guilty for /no readily apparent reason/.
