CPU performance improvements over last 15-20 years

Cool! What are you going to get?

I'm going with a Ryzen 5 1600 build this time. I actually had two AMD builds before my Intel (that I got through Intel retail edge) so I don't consider myself a fanboy. But I like the value offered right now with AMD. I waited to hear what Intel was going to say on the 21st and they didn't say much so I just went for it.

Retail Edge! Haha, I remember that retail brainwashing training from my CompUSA days. Some of those employee bribes discounts were amazing. I remember getting some amazing deals from AMD, Diamond, Creative Labs, Intel, Viewsonic, Sprint... quite a few others. At one point, I had two free pagers and two cell phones. I think my parents thought I was a drug dealer. Nope, just a tech enthusiast nerd.
