Reply to comment by Sythgara in Console Manufacturers Will Switch To 3-4 Year Upgrade Cycles Like PCs, Says CMA by Darren-B80
Intel motherboards have a 2 year lifecycle from what I understand before they change the socket size so you won't be getting processor upgrades unless you buy a new motherboard every 2 years. At this point you may as well be buying a whole new PC because you are going to have to buy new ram because by the time you want to upgrade there will be something faster than DDR 5 plus a new GPU and the ram you have from your old PC probably won't be compatible with the new motherboard. Now if you want to upgrade your GPU every 2 years, just the GPU, that is likely doable but you will need to make sure you have enough watts in your power supply for that to work.
If you are gaming you may as well go AMD, the motherboards have a lot longer of a lifecycle from what I hear.
