Really this depends on the year. We're in a more chunked paradigm now when significant progress is happening more intermittently.

That doesn't mean buy new. Wait it out a year or two and buy used.

Some years matter. Most don't. You can exploit this.

Fair, and I agree. Especially if you're out of sync with the CPU/GPU upgrade cycle.

But even then the odds it will have a major impact on most workloads is very unlikely.

I think as tech people we tend to try to maximize when there is no need.
