It took me almost 11 years to replace my i7 2600k and I only replaced it because I no longer use a desktop computer. Some M1 users will keep their chip for 10+

- liotier 4y agoHome computer still a slightly overclocked i7-2600 with lots of RAM... Only now starting to encounter too many annoying saturations of the CPU.
- ThorsBane 4y agoI dominated a base-model m1 13" for almost two years, pushing it through startup engineering workflows. It handled everything admirably despite "just" 8gb of ram. I still have it but upgraded to the 16" for the bigger viewport and high refresh rate, but the 13" is no slouch. I could see it having lasted another couple years for my web-dev workflows, although the display size/refresh improvements for the 16" were what I needed.
