I guess the first Ryzen was technically only 9 years ago, and sure there the X3D is kind of a leap but that’s still resulted in comparatively marginal gains compared to what happened in the previous 10 years where it was easily a 5x delta. Meanwhile Intel is just cramming more and more E cores into things and pretending they’re doing better.
For the average person I really doubt CPU speed from 10 years ago or today makes all that much difference if both systems run from an NVMe.
Sure you can run a perfectly useable machine from 10 years ago but there is a massive difference in performance between an ryzen 9600 based system and an ryzen 1600 system.
I do agree with you that performance increase are nowhere as fast as it used to be. But we were also stuck with 4 core intel cpu’s for a decade before that.
Can’t relate PC hardware got way to expensive.
My decade old hardware does what it needs to do. Alternatively, get an Odroid device. Relatively cheap SBCs you can use to host a host of services.
Regular performance really has improved so very little in the past decade, it’s just been a focus on GPUs and power efficiency.
I defintely has improved a lot since Amd became competitive with Intel.
