"Do you ever replace computers just for something newer and faster?"

I usually do that every 5-6 years. I might use my Ryzen computers for 10 years. They are 5 and 6 years old now.

AMD Ryzens have often been more efficient than Intels over the last 3-4 years. You could not say that about the several years preceding that. I'm drawing 65 watts from the wall receptacle from my Ryzen 2400G computer, 43" 4K TV, and cable modem while browsing this website. Intel's integrated graphics suck compared to igpu in the Ryzen G cpus.
