Are my upgrading days over?
Will I need to upgrade for the next 10 years?
Did I finally defeat Jow Forums?

In 10 years the standard will be 1 TB RAM and a 128-core CPU because the entire Internet will be in VR

Nah, almost all software will still be written for 2 core low power laptops.
Some 10 year old laptops are more powerful them most mobile laptops today.

>because the entire Internet will be in VR
VR failed minimum of 3 times in the past. It will fail again.

U hav 32 core and 128 gb ram? Wtf is this machine for. Nice choice of lightweight desk too

Like you know, real work and shit?

Right, I was just wondering what. Sry

nope, some javashit apper will write an electron application that uses your 32 cores and still manages to be slow as fuck

Not on Jow Forums.

vr failed with virtual boy for reasons you would know if you ever used one, it was a fragile system that hurt to use
the next vr was arcade stuff or pro stuff if we look passed the glasses that allowed private viewing of cellphones and shit in situations where you would be on a plane or less than ideal conditions. this was less a failure and more people didn't know this wave existed
the next vr wave was fpv on things like rc cars and drones getting good, this is by all means a resounding success, the video may not be as high a quality as you want, but it works and allows things you never would have imagined possible for less then 100$
and finally we are in the current wave of oculus rift, microsoft vr, ovrs and vive with their generic knockoffs for most of them.
these are in the early stages of useful, if you play a racing game with vr, you are never playing a racing game without it again, and this will happen for each genre once they figure out the best way to make it work in vr, be it a sit down experience, or up and moving.
Personally I think most people who say its crap never used it, or are completely unable to see 3d anything.
what will push vr to a mainstream use is when it gets cheap and is a viable monitor replacement, either through the use of software to simulate a desktop with 80kx80k work area that you just have to move your head to see, or by the os doing it natively.
The moment you can make vr a private experience, so many men are going to get it just because of porn alone, kids will want it for both porn and games, and many people will use it for the productivity of the workspace.
what will likely push it over the edge is 4k per eye or 8k per eye, not necessarily rendering 3d or anything at 8k per eye, but the ability to set up a scene for you to watch a movie, see it in full resolution as though it was a theater with very low demand 3d environment with textures, and fairly simple 2d transform for the 8k per eye.
the tech is close

You
Win

I can't fully utilize this thing yet.

Needs more storage though.

Fuck the SAS and put in two large SATA drives in raid1?

You insult me with your block of text.
Normies need a facebook machine and prefer sex over VR.

you imagine a house without kids.
get your kid vr when prices come down and you don't have the bastard fucking with the volume because the shit wants it loud and you want to no hear the shit in the furthest corner of the house.
get them to early late teen, they want privacy, what better way to have it then a monitor replacement vr display.
you then have the more normie vr where they put a cellphone into a visor and try to forget they are on a plane or in a doctors office while an iv feeds into them,
then you have the adult who if they get a significant other, something more and more unpalatable every year, they still don't like you looking at porn.

now go into productivity, and instead of 3-6 monitors, you use 1 vr kit and it takes up very little room? right there is a professional use for it, and most of the compelling reasons to use vr are profesional.

>they want privacy
>buys them a fucking facebook vr helmet

Also, 2 monitors are better for your productivity then 1 larger one. Stop acting retarded.

Congratulations. Your desktop now meets the minimum specs for one of the boxes in my DC. Three years ago. So in all honesty you're about 3ish years ahead of the game: a good home workstation should be about the power of a a 5 year old run of the mill server, but at a fraction of what that server cost 5 years ago.

Gamer rigs and home computers for grandparents to Skype the kids and Facebook are still going to be shit though, even five years from now. The ability for the os to feed useful jobs to each core is going to hit the point of diminishing returns for those workloads really soon.

>real work
>all cores are idle
>using 1/126th of your ram
>practically have nothing open aside from your DE running

Running a dirty array of dying 4TBs in three RAIDZ1 vdevs kept alive by ZFS error correction.

It's fine though.

Word

This. I have a Core 2 laptop from 2008 that I've had for years and it's still more than enough for web browsing, videos, basic shit, etc. Battery life even rivals that of most Chromebooks and easily outperforms all of them, it cost me $50.

they want to jerk off/look at shit without parents opening the door to see if they are looking at boobs.
most people couldn't give a fuck if facebook knows they looked at some porn so long as they're not broadcasting it to everyone, but try taking a picture of someone irl and see how long it is till someone tries to kill you, they still care extensively about irl privacy.

yes because there isn't a fuck load of issues with dual monitors that const constant incompatibility and require one to be removed, run a simulated infiniscreen, I could easily see this being productivity gold.

>a fuck load of issues with dual monitors
are you retarded?

and then there's this faggot who never had anything mission critical refuse to properly operate with a second monitor, or just had the mouse fuck off when going from one monitor to the other never to be seen again, or the fun that if you work professionally and have a need for the monitors to be in sync, the only option is a 5 grand nvidia card and then another piece of hardware that syncs the monitors themselves because they apparently don't do that in drivers, lets also not overlook that realistically, you are going to use one monitor over the other disproportionately because you just cant be asked to use the second one more often then not.

again I can go on about why multiple monitor setups are not the be all end all, why a single large format monitor is better, or why a potential virtual monitor could be the future, but you can't recognise something being useful to save your fucking life.

Wow, you are retarded.

>In 10 years the standard will be 1 TB RAM and a 128-core CPU because the entire Internet will be in VR

Not very likely. Node shrinks are becoming increasingly more difficult, even Intel seems to have difficulty passing 10nm let alone 7nm, 5nm or 3nm in the next ten years. You need node shrinks to achieve the ram sizes and core counts you are talking about.

Wafer space is precious for everything now, you won't get 1TB ram any time soon

Maybe they can make PC's larger instead of smaller?
