I still have a 8700K and haven't really had the need to upgrade in a while. I'll never buy a processor with something like this in it. If Microsoft forces it in new CPUs, I'm pretty sure I can make it the rest of my life with current hardware.
Yeah, me too. Silicon advances have gotten a lot more incremental and are in a point where if you buy high end current generation, you'll probably have acceptable performance for 10 years or more. The Ryzen 7900x/7900xtx rig I'm building right this second I figure will last me at least 5 or 6 years without any upgrades, even when playing modern top of the line games.
Definitely not like it used to be, where you could upgrade every two years and double your computer's performance to an insane degree.
