      Building one in the next two years doesn’t imply the last one was just built yesterday though.

      Steam hardware survey shows RTX 3060 as the most common single GPU model at 4%. Other 20, 30, 40 series GPUs are still common too. As are 50 series, but they’re far from dominant. 10 series and older are uncommon but still in use.

      On the AMD side, a significant amount of people are still rocking old GPUs like the RX 580 and a few even still run lower end old GPUs like the 550. All in all, most GPUs in use are not the newest generation at all. For CPUs we unfortunately don’t get data beyond core count, but I imagine the average CPU is even older than the average GPU because a ton of people are still on AM4. I’m one and I’ve got friends who are as well.
