By then his current hardware won't have the same value though. OP's main reasons are it won't cost hardly anything to get into a current SOTA system and it'll be fun.
Someone should dig up the old mining thread and look at these same kind of comments when bitcoin was worth FA. Think of what those worthless coins are worth today. You have to also consider "inflation" with cryptocurrencies.
We used to hear lots of complaining about Intel including iGPU on the chips people wanted to buy and use dGPU with. Paying for an iGPU that they didn't need. I wouldn't go any higher than 4c/8t on the APU's until they can put one with it (iGPU) with it that matches the performance of the CPU...
I haven't really kept up with reviews lately like I used to. But I can recall often thinking, "Man, they seem to get the slowest AMD cards in the world.", quite often reading reviews. :D
Remember the "oil crisis"? You might not have been around or aware back then. But FWIW we were supposed to have run out of oil years ago. Fake news was not a Trump invention. ;)
I think the whole discussion started when someone suggested that single channel 8gig is perfectly fine for a system with a dGPU but if you had 8 gig dual channel with the APU (2200-2400) It wouldn't be sufficient. Now people are saying if you want to run all kinds of background apps and have...
The whole thing started when someone was cutting corners to try and devalue the 2200/2400. The value is obviously there for many people, they are buying them up. And I don't see anyone who wouldn't want them, being happy with an i3 and 1030 w/8G of crappy RAM either. Which is what the counter...
I'm not understanding. Looking at reviews ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/12425/marrying-vega-and-zen-the-amd-ryzen-5-2400g-review/5 ) I see huge gaming performance differences. Can you elaborate, please?
Well, the 2400 sold out 1st but now the 2200 is back ordered too. It's really semantics arguing what's the better deal. They're both selling like penny candy.
I'm not talking about the devs being able to develop games. I agree that's not an issue. I'm more addressing the hi-end GPU market. We already have nVidia wanting to charge $3G for their top consumer GPU. What's going to happen when they need those to be their volume parts as well?
