That pesky intel went to a longer wait time between CPU refreshes. It’s going to be even slower in the next few years.

Intel hasn’t released a new CPU since 2013, AMD hasn’t released a new GPU since 2012… Man, Apple has the toughest luck finding reliable partners. 😉

Well yeah, they did announce the nMP on a ‘tock’ year not a tick year. As for the AMDs, they have been pretty much been polishing their 2013 chips until this new gen was announced a couple months ago.

It’s a lot better than when I finally got around to getting a B&W G3 tower and then the G4 came out a month later.

Thankfully nowadays Intel and AMD have at least provide roadmaps that make the guessing game a little more reliable.

Yeah, my most irrational fear is probably of buying electronics and then having an better version come out right after my return window ends. lol

I think we share the same techupgradeophobia condition.

I just buy the outgoing model refurbished when the new one comes out. That way I’m pre-disastered into having old tech. At least I saved enough money to feel like it was justified. 😉

saw that and groaned… the MacPro tower gets left behind now… sure as hell not buying anymore nMP’s to replace it…
