Wait one or two generations?

ZowieR · April 4, 2020

In principle, I plan to wait and buy a new computer for a new generation, so that it will be relevant for as long as possible.

What I have today is pretty old and it's also one of the reasons I'm waiting ...

Now, is there any chance that by the end of 2020 it will be possible to buy Ryzen's next generation processors + new boards and video cards?

I also realized that just a year after AMD was going to spend a new generation with another resident, and probably would come with DDR5 as well.

The thing is that the DDR5 will also be a new transition and I am looking for this significant transition.

Today I have a DDR3, not is it that every year there is a new DDR on the market.

what do you think?

If you can, wait for Zen towards the end of Q3 2020. If you can't, get a Zen 2 CPU

what is your current PC? are you still satisfied with the performance? if yes, then stick with it and wait for atleast the next generation. even if DDR5 gets released, its not like every cpu and motherboards will immediately support those. earliest, i think DDR5 will get support in 2022. in current situation, it might take longer as boarder closure will cause a lot of shortage in materials. especially workers since many of the factories are in China.
