      The funny thing is the car will keep its value for way longer.

      I have handfuls of old Xeons that released with an MSRP of $3000 over a decade ago and now they’re worth about $20 a pop on ebay.

      My car model year also happens to be from 2012 wnd right now it’s still worth 10-15k in good condition.

        IMO, if cars improved like CPU’s the situation might be different. Imagine if your 2025 Toyota got double the gas mileage of a 2015 one rather then maybe 1-2mpg more.

          Nah apparently I lied, they’re E5-2697a V4s which came out in 2016.

          Cheaper than a kaby lake i7-7700k which is crazy lol
