Hello everyone. I’m one of those rare sea birds that in 2023 still rides an i7 2600K OCd @ 4.8 GHz since launch day.
I’ve been poking and experimenting in and out of more recent computers but aside from the GPU upgrade, I haven’t really decided to let my i7 2600K retire.
It’s just that I can’t feel the “fastness” in new builds, however I honestly didn’t spend much time with a current gen high end machine.
Seeing as we are getting closer to yet another generation of AMD and Intel’s, do you guys think it will be worth it?
My full specs are: i7 2600K @ 4.8 GHz Gskill 32 GB 2133 CL10 DDR3 ASRock Z77 Extreme 6 (I swapped an Asus one year after when Z77 was released) 750W Corsair PSU 2x 500GB Raid0 Samsung Evo 2x 500GB Raid0 Crucial MX500 AMD 6750 XT along with a QHD 27" 165 Hz (started with an HD5870, then TO 380 now RX 6850XT)
The former is trivial for almost any CPU (and your GPU is probably massive overkill) but web dev should require quite a lot of resources actually. If you’re fine with the speed I guess that works too though (I mean, JS is never going to be particularly fast is it…).
