Yeah, really the only reason a lot of people upgraded was the fear of supply chain issues and AMD CPUs got good. Performance finally came up to justify the expense, and now there is nothing significantly more performant. Either prices need to come down, or new tech needs to come out to make it work it. I'm still on a 2012 Xeon system, No Change Needed.

Well I’d upgrade still, but DDR5 is a requirement for the high end AMD stuff now, and that is just outright expensive
