Starting to look like it’s gonna be time to build a new workstation later this year. Prices are receding from chip shortage peaks. The next gen AMD platform looks like a game changer. They got to the point where, with the exception of the usual network slowdowns, I pretty much stopped waiting for them a few years ago. There was a time in my computing past where things like video encoding and compiling might call for a coffee break while things crunched away for seemingly endless wait times. But it’s always fun putting a new one together and enjoying that new car smell-type thing for awhile.
