I can see it now... It's year 2032 and the ability of showing human emotion has declined due to reactionary gif's.

They do work quite well though.

I have an I5 intel core processor, I think thats what makes my laptop turn on in 5 seconds

Yours probably turns on in 1 second!

Mines an i5 on my Laptop too. 9th gen 6 cores.

My PC is where the real horsepower is. It's got a Threadripper 2990 CPU and a GTX 2080ti GPU. Beastly.

All you really need for boot speed is a fast hard drive. Also 5 seconds is great.

The speed at which a computer boots is almost entirely due to the speed of the hard drive. This is why solid state hard drives boot almost instantly. Booting off a small or even external SSD is a great idea, while storing things less time sensitive can be on a cheap 7200rpm drive.

God damn I just looked that up. This is probably a dumb question but I couldnt find the socket type. It wouldnt be AM4 would it?? And what possibly GPU do you have that doesnt bottle neck that beastly cpu?

The MOBO is a ASRock X399 Phantom 6, which is where the bottleneck really is. I grabbed this one pre-configured, but if I were to part it out myself I'd have thrown a ASUS ROG Zenith at it.

Also, the socket is a Socket TR4, also known as Socket SP3r2.

I think it's interesting that I work in IT and I don't even know what you guys are talking about nor does it ever come up in my work. I guess these kinda of details and distinctions matter more for personal hobbyists or in industries where extreme power and performance are necessary, not so much for general IT maintenance
