Is there any reason to upgrade yet?

/Thread.

I have a 4790 and I expect to see an upgrade in about 20 years. The advances of single threaded performance is ridiculous, about 5% each year and decelerating. Unless they go to a completely different technological paradigm this is getting worse and worse.

I don't blame them either. There are quantum mechanical limits and photo-lithography challenges.

It might be easier to go to Mars at this point than to speed the transistor by more than 5% a year.

I hope that Cannon Lake processors would be good enough to upgrade, but knowing Intel, they might do nothing, put another Gayflix gimmick and sell it.

Upgraded to a 6600k from a 2500k in April. I definitely noticed a performance boost in some areas, but it wasn't huge.

Everyone has to seriously calm the fuck down and realize neither AMD or Intel can save you from the max 5% speeds up a year. It's simply extremely hard to shrink the transistor nowadays because of quantum mechanical limits and challenges with photolithography and the Foundries cost mountains of cash to build or even upgrade. The best you can hope for is for AMD to reach Intel's performance by using Samsung's Foundries but don't think for a second that you'll ever see something impressive.

Baby lake only has a 20% increase in IPC over sandy fuckin bridge that came out I'm 2011.

Think on that a while
