We all know that you can't keep up with advances in technology, unless you are a millionaire, but even if you are who want's to be upgrading and rebuilding their system every 3 months?
I agree with Rastalovich, too much too fast too soon, they barely get a new chip out at the moment before they are replacing it. This means they are not developing them properly and have no chance to see how they perform in working conditions over a prolonged period! Bugs and droputs among chips could soar in a couple of years, usually just after the warranty period, which then leaves their customers out of pocket and dissatisfied.
It's not like you just have to replace the chip either, with new socket boards being mentioned and talk of DDR4 memory on the horizon, which might be incompatible with existing boards, the whole thing is getting beyond a joke!
Of course we don't all have to upgrade all the time, but when something is becoming obsolete in a few months time they don't do themselves or us any favours.
