Re: When will it be safe to by a new system?

Based on my time at AMD & IBM for a decade just over ten years ago, I'm estimating 3 years from the initial report. That is, two years from now. There are rumblings that AMD will have something in a year. That feels aggressive. And a long ways out to trust.

The performance/watt of the new chips will be much, much lower than what we have been used to.
