Well, AMD finally released their new generation x86 processor today- and it's getting a luke warm reception.
It's semi-on-par with Intel's processors, and far cheaper. Though I've been having a hard time finding a justification to upgrade my 9590 series processor which I cannot seem to max out anyway.
So I'm passing another upgrade cycle. Nothing I do in development, radio, virtualization, or any other of the nooks and crannies I get into are limited by my current setup.
Maybe I'm getting old. I'm just not excited...
