I've been a member here for a long time, and if anything, my uses have become lighter over the years. I browse, check email and do paperwork, watch movies, listen to music while I play less-demanding games, do light photo editing, transfer files to and from my phone and flash drives.
My i5 was OC'd for years, before I realized there was little point. It's now undervolted and underclocked to reduce heat and noise. For a while I was thinking that if I had a major failure, I'd probably replace my i5 with a 2c4t CPU because quite honestly, the most common bottleneck in my day to day usage is I/O, even with a decent SSD, and that's small enough that I don't mind waiting a few extra seconds on a large transfer. It's hard for me to imagine what use I'd have for a 16 thread CPU.
