I've been waiting for this to be release, along with Zen 3 CPUs before actually pulling the trigger on a new PC. I've been on macOS for 20 years now, so it should be a whole new world for me.
- driverdan 6y agoThere's always something better on the horizon. If you're waiting for the next thing you'll always be waiting. PCIe gen4 SSDs are already out. They're not quite as fast as this but they still do 4-5GB/s.
- Jonnax 6y agoBut this just came out. And Zen 3 is going to be announced in 2 weeks.
- intrasight 6y agoI agree. Doesn't make sense to do a build right now. Wait for this fast SSD and Zen 3. Coming soon.
- mey 6y agoAlso need to see if AMD has a response to Nvidia.
- mywittyname 6y agoThey haven't posed a real threat to Nvidia in a while, I wouldn't suspect any difference this generation. And while Ampere is a huge upgrade from the previous generation, getting an Ampere GPU seems to be difficult or impossible.
- sandworm101 6y agoThere are horizons and horizons, they aren't all just modest incremental improvements. Some of them are big leaps in price/performance ratios, for instance the latest generation of graphics cards that just came out. Threadripper too was something worth waiting for, something worth building a new machine to leverage. Depending on your use case there can be good/bad times to pull the trigger on a new machine.
- bmurphy1976 6y agoYeah there's always something better, but there's also inflection points. Right now with Zen3 and Ampere we are in the midst of a major transition the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time. Better to wait a few months and be on the other side of this one.
- modzu 6y agonot necessarily for the better! synthetic benchmarks and specialized workflows not withstanding, the hardware is really not that different, but windows is absolute trash. stay on mac friend :)
