I mean, it certainly feels like I won't for at least the rest of this decade. I'm glad when I built my AM4 rig, I splurged a bit for 32 GB. If the market doesn't doesn't fix itself, I see myself keeping what I have running for much longer than it should. You know that one older relative that ran windows 95 and AOL well into the Obama administration? That feels like my future tbh at least on the hardware side.
I hope AMD fires up the plant to build 5800x 3D again so I can max out my rig as it stands. My plan for my next build will likely be AM6 or even 7 if I can stretch my current PC for that long, else, i might have to give up on personal computers as a hobby.
I fear the future is getting time on a remote computer at university at best with a terminal again. That environment will be ripe for exploitation and holding people's data hostage even moreso than the current cloud system.
