Stability and maturity brought by Sandy Bridge
AMD’s CPU business was in the middle of a dark period after Phenom and FX failed. On the other hand, Intel introduced the second generation of Core series (Sandy Bridge), which is the core of the current Core series, and will dominate the CPU industry for several generations to come. NVIDIA has also made great strides in GPUs with Kepler and Maxwell, and GeForce has firmly established itself as the mainstream GPU. In addition, the price of SSDs continued to fall and became popular all at the same time, and it was during this time that the current standards were established.
