I suspect that might have something to do with it coming back to the ‘cool kids’ corner’. I’m a designer, and a) being interested in ML / AI enough to the point that I needed neural nets running, b) and VR kits not struggling so I can keep an eye on that emerging market were the first two things in more than a decade that made my hardware feel just not up to snuff. The last of such ‘I need real hardware’ feeling was the jump to Core 2 Duo that made every developer seemingly assume overnight that they had access to multiple processors. I haven’t even owned a Windows-based PC in 10 years and I’m on the market for a liquid cooled GTX 1080Ti and AMD Threadripper — guess what is old is new again. Fun times!
