Things move forward. I'm with a 5900X, it was one of the best CPUs to buy 4-5 years ago (it's still doing well for me), but recently, just out of curiosity I found out that a current laptop CPU beats it by a solid 15-20% in single thread performance.
I'm still angry at myself that I didn't upgrade to AM5 before the current crisis - mainly because 32 gigs of RAM aren't cutting it for me any more (and it didn't make sense to pour money into the old platform).
Upgrading each year seems pointless, but once every 3-4 years is I think reasonable.
