Just to mirror your point, my desktop and main work computer has an i5 750 (2009). There hasn't been a single reason for me to replace it, unless it dies. It's an excellent processor and does everything I need it to do.
I also have an i7 7th gen in my laptop, to be honest there is no noticable difference between the two for my use cases.

- shouldbworking 9y agoI too have a 750 from 2009, overclocked to 3.5 GHz since the day I bought it. Still benches about half the score as brand new ~$200 CPUs. I'll probably get one of these new fangled AMD raisens so I can have USB 3.0 and onboard LAN.
