>>35Thing is, with the fabs about to hit a brick wall, there's going to be a massive slow down in new, revolutionary tech coming to market. Only incremental improvements. After 2022, it's going to slow down even more. Most mid to high-end systems people buy in 2017-2018 are going to last them a long time.
My Core i7 920 system is 7 years old, and it's still solid as long I've kept upgrading the GPU every other year. But it doesn't support PCIe 3.0 or USB 3.0, so probably time to do another big upgrade.
