3 “dead” PC components that are quietly making a comeback
PC components usually get outdated in a few years, at least if you listen to how new launches are marketed and how the community talks about them online. Every time a newer generation of parts comes out, anything older is treated like a bottleneck waiting to happen. For instance, once DDR5 went mainstream, people were quick to write off DDR4 as a dead platform, even though real-world performance didn't improve all that much. The same thing happens with older GPUs, which go from "good enough" to "not worth buying" almost overnight.
