Hello,

This is the new yearly poll for your preferred processor (CPU) and graphics card (discrete GPU) manufacturers. 

The old poll is located here.

Please leave a comment sharing your current hardware, plus any upgrades you plan on making this year!

Regards,

My recent purchases reflect my biases - Intel CPU - i7 - and Nvidia GPU - GT 710 for now, but GTX 1050Ti down the pipeline - used to own one before.

I had purchased a Ryzen 7 5800X a little less than 6 months ago to keep my AM4 board going for another year or two. In 2022 right as prices started to fall, I bought (for wayy too much) an RTX 3080 12gb to replace my aging RX 580 8gb.

I have no interest in paying these exorbitant prices for any of these overvalued graphics cards available right now but will most likely upgrade to an RTX 5080 if that ends up being a decent value for the money. At some point in the next two years I think I'll be comparing available intel and amd boards to see if the grass is really greener.

Weird poll... You listed some non-consumer CPUs but left out Broadcom that people may actually be using in their Raspberry Pi? No Google Tensor?

That option is "Other [specify below]"

Did you not understand my comment? A number of CPUs almost no one here is using are listed (which should fall under "other") while popular used ones are not. That is not how one makes a proper poll.

Feel free to make your own poll then, this one looks fine to me.

Been partial to AMD for quite some time now for both CPUs and GPUs.  Not married to them CPU wise but I do like the bang for the buck that AMD gives versus Intel.  But I'm pretty much done with nVidia for GPUs now because of the half a__ed Linux support. KWin and Wayland and nVidia? Oh my. Even other desktops under X11 was pretty janky. I didn't really get the Torvalds "F-U Nvidia" bit until I switched nearly full time to Linux.. now I do.

If I were purely a Windows user though, then sure, the GPUs are quite good if you can afford them.

So if you made a poll asking people their favorite color it would look fine to you if the options were blue, red, yellow, amaranth, and celadon with green and purple left off?

The solution is not to have two polls here for favorite CPU LOL but for the OP to maybe take some feedback and adjust accordingly with the current poll to improve it.

That is a false equivalence.

Jeez this forum has gotten so whiny lately when anything isn't EXACTLY how they would have done it.

That is not a false equivalency in any way. They are both examples of polls were common options were left off while unknown/uncommon options were listed.

It's standard for people to suggest other options be added to online polls as it's easy to forget something that should have been included.

I'm not sure 4% and 1% market share for broadcom and tensor respectively really counts as "common".

Raspberry Pis are common as ###### among readers of tech sites. Phones with Google Tensor are more common than with Samsung Exynos SoCs these days at least in the US. I would be surprised if more than a couple of readers here have ever touched or seen a device with an Ampere Altra  or Nvidia Grace CPU. Do you think those chipsets are anywhere near 1% for whatever numbers you are citing? The whole IoT/ Single-board computer category is ignored here for some reason. We are done here now right?

That 1050 Ti will be a massive upgrade, the 710 is utter garbage. I even wrote an article on why no one should buy it: https://www.neowin.net/editorials/just-don039t-buy-it-so-nvidia-finally-kills-this-awful-gt-710-graphics-card/

Are raspberry pi and google tensor processors your favorite? Then select "Other [specify below]" and write it in a comment in this thread. Something being popular in the US vs the world is a moot point.

Ampere Altra and Nvidia Grace are both gaining popularity in the datacenter world and make sense as an option in this poll.

I already did what I wanted to do which was suggest more options to the OP which is NOT you. Seriously, WTF? Go away I am not looking for new friends so sorry.

All I'm saying is there is already an option on the poll for your choice.

What I thought should be added was right in what you quoted (Broadcom and Google Tensor). The Ampere Altra and Nvidia Grace are odd additions since not SoCs for consumer devices.

Hello,

Thank you.  I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else that should be changed.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
