I upgraded from an fx6300 to a Ryzen R5 1600 when they launched, and that was mind blowing. I can’t imagine what going from an fx6300 to an R5 in 2025 would feel like. That processor has been released 13 years before you upgrade, that’s impressive.
Yea I try to run my equipment as damn long as I can lol. Before the fx I was ripping a x6 phenom lmfao. Insane how every upgrade I have made has over doubled computing power and memory+ storage +pcie bandwidth. And to think our rigs are technically a gen behind given ddr5 and pcie 5 are out. Moving to nvme storage was the biggest boost I think I experienced. Sata ssd was sick when it came out but going from sata ssd to nvme was like going from a HDD to a sata ssd all over again lol. Looking back it is honestly incredible how many leaps and bounds in computing power we have experienced.
