I feel like I’m part of the minority when I say I’m highly excited for things like M5, APUs, smaller power efficient machines that barely draw power while doing boring work tasks yet can handle proper gaming loads (waiting for the last part still).
As soon as one of these checks all my boxes I’m selling my massive PC for it.
Yep, I’d really like to stick to SoCs in the future as well. I’m holding off on hardware purchases until 2027 when AMD’s RDNA 5 will be available. Apple Silicon is amazing, but I’d like a less expensive alternative that has broader Linux distro support. RDNA 5 will bring true RTX cores, which is critical for my Blender rendering workloads, and is the main reason why I couldn’t justify AMD GPUs in the past for anything other than a dedicated gaming machine (e.g., Steam Deck).

Good luck getting any new PC in 2027 for a decent price LMAO
Oh, don’t worry. The bubble is going to pop <checks watch> aaaaany minute now.
It’s not popping until Trump is out of office and that’s not until at least 2028.
Though he does provide a lot of fuel for it, the bubble exists independently of the grifter-in-chief. Also, blot clots are a thing.
