Man, I guess I'm at least middle age now. I remember thinking my first custom build's processor was definitely gonna have to be one of these brand new badass i7s.

    My first PC, custom built, was an Intel 486DX4 100Mhz. 4MB RAM and a 800MB HD. Paid in a currency that doesn't exist anymore.

    You'll still know what the numbers at the end mean

    "Though Intel does promise to keep the generation of a chip noted in the codename, i.e. 'Core 9 15900K'." [1]
