When it comes to processor speed, we haven't had a breakthrough in years. It all comes down to heat. For a number of years, processors got faster and faster. Companies got better at cramming more and more speed into their chips. However, I we've hit the proverbial speed barrier.
Where previously, system speeds were doubling every few years, we have not had a major improvement in several years. It's honestly not necessary to spend money on a new system when systems 4-5 years old are capable of doing the job just fine.
Companies need to evaluate their expenses and the actual cost benefit to buying new equipment every couple years. Where changes were constant and new speeds improved operations, today there really isn't a need to spend a lot of money on hardware.
Instead, companies should concentrate on software and personnel and consider operating system updates as they come out instead of a full system replacement.
On the personal user side, as long as your system can be kept up to date, for the operating system it should be fine.
