I was talking about desktop CPUs, but the same principle applies to any sort of SoC or CPU. What is "the best" today is surpassed within a month or two.

This is also why I usually buy second hand computer equpment. There's no point, it's extremely expensive the day it hits the market, and in a year, it's like 1/3 of the price. This is especially true for GPUs.
