For, everyday normal work the CPU utilization is around 15%, so you can guess how much work it can handle altogether. I wanted to see the CPU utilization at max so I started the CPU-Z benchmark and looked up at the Task Manager. You can find below that the CPU reached 100% with the clock speed going up to 4.66 GHz when the benchmark process was running.

Why does it make sense to buy the Intel Core i7-10700K now?

The 10th gen Intel Core i7-10700K is one of the best gaming CPUs, which can also handle all your everyday tasks with ease. As the next-gen Rocket Lake CPUs are coming from Intel, their performance improvement is around 5-10%, so getting a low price 10th Gen CPU makes a lot more sense. You can easily get your hands on one of them from Amazon at around Rs.33k and Rs.31k in offline stores.
