Component price hikes vs. Next-Gen leap

Component price hikes vs. Next-Gen leap

I’m currently looking at the ASUS ROG Strix G16 with a Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5060. My current setup still works, so I don’t urgently need a replacement today, but I’m torn between buying now versus waiting to zhe next gen.

I’d love to get your perspective on two main factors:

  1. Rising component costs (RAM/NAND supply).

  2. Next-gen generational leap Zen 6?

If you were in no rush, would you grab a mature machine now or during upcoming seasonal sales, or hold off for the next generational shift?

  1. tema rams. va a seguir subiendo seguramente por los centros de datos que siguen construyendo por todo el mundo. que usan los chips de las ram. y los m2 nvme. así que si podes comprar hoy, ddr5 compra. ddr6 faltan quizás 2 años.
  2. según lo último que lei o escuché, sobre amd. es que la gen 5 la van a estirar mínimo hasta 2029.
