I know that currently, not counting in the video card, my machine would strike up performance within the higher and more enthusiast numerals. Yet I wonder if in, say, 15 years from now it would be possible to enter the world of then current software (if there is an OS still fully supported and fully supporting the CPU) and run smoothly applications which would be considered current for the times and lighter software (Office applications, web browsers, video players, light picture and video editors).
Now, this isn't a really serious question, because 15 years is a lot of time. It is simply a question to ponder and have fun with. Do put your guesses down on how productive this system would be then. I still know that CPUs from 2011 like the i7-2630QM would be doing fine for lighter work today, 12 years later.
My system specifications:
OS: Windows 11 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700H (14 Cores / 20 Threads | Top Speed @ 4.7 GHz)
RAM: 48 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
SSD: 2 TB Samsung 980 Pro (Read: 7000 MB/s | Write: 5100 MB/s)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop (2560 Shaders | 4 GB GDDR6)
