Today I've found out that there is a new AMD CPU that I can get - Ryzen 7 1800X. Then I've found out that it's using the new AM4 socket, so if I want it, I'd have to get a new motherboard - Asus CROSSHAIR VI HERO. That motherboard supports up to 64 gb of RAM, so obviously I'd have to get all that too - Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (I may have to do more research and find something else, but I need 4x16gb sticks, and these are available in this configuration, and they're supposedly good).

So basically, I've accidentally planned my next workstation upgrade JUBILATIONS MAXIMUM HYPE

Now, for some details.

The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads at 4gHz (turbo), will be around 50-60% faster than my current one. I have 32gb of RAM, so that'll get doubled. The CPU also draws less juice than my FX-8370 - 125W to 95W. This also means less heat. While I kinda want a better cooler, I'm 90% sure I don't need it. XD

What this all amounts to?

Shorter render times at the usual (or sometimes higher) quality, but also much finer fur, and denser tessellation when needed. Or stuff like more characters in one artwork ALTHOUGH I WOULD RATHER NOT LOL

If everything goes well, I'm expecting to easily do the entire upgrade around March 2018.

EXCITING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
