Question Wait for one or two generations?

[ZowieR]

In principle, I plan to wait and buy a new computer for a new generation, so that it will be relevant for as long as possible.

What I have today is pretty old and it's also one of the reasons I'm waiting ...

Now, is there any chance that by the end of 2020 it will be possible to buy Ryzen's next generation processors + new boards and video cards?

I also realized that just a year after AMD was going to spend a new generation with another resident, and probably would come with DDR5 as well.

The thing is that the DDR5 will also be a new transition and I am looking for this significant transition.

Today I have a DDR3, not is it that every year there is a new DDR on the market.



what do you think?

It'll probably hang with a 9700k, give or take on some different games. Also remember that you might get some extra FPS in games by actually disabling SMT, which requires a reboot. If you are folding in the background it will drive down clocks regardless.

Sending pm to not derail thread 🙂

Upgrade WHEN you actually need it. Read a book instead, for example this.
