Another rant. Penryn (2007), Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake (2015)... I can remember those names like it's yesterday. Then I remember that Penryn was introduced in 2007. My old laptop from 2008 and desktop both run a Penryn CPU and chipset. I remember all the fanfare when Intel switched from the Core2Duo and Core2Quad to the current i-series CPU's with Nehalem in the middle of 2008.

That was 8 years ago! I wasn't even out of my twenties back then.

Where are my 8 years? Damn. Now I feel like I'm close to being dead already. Next time I shouldn't skip 5 generations of CPU's (and graphics cards), obviously.
