The article my friend, the one in the op.
My reply - my post...its in reference to the article.
I never said intel has to abide by some stupid formula some guy made up. I can argue 500 hrs on how worthless and meaningless Moores law is. I don't know how or why anyone ever valued it. This is not something I invented.
It is intel who not only promoted but promised, stil promising. It is intel who speaks of such performance gains. So, you see, this is why they should be called out on it.
You can go on for weeks arguing that intel never has to increase performance again, you can have a cookie. But, for some odd reason here is this article and intel obviously feeling the need to sing a totally different song.
And, what you read above....that was my response to it.
Mostly I was responding to "things are grim so they need to spin". It's not exactly the height of the PC craze for intel, but they've still got a monopoly in a multibillion dollar market. Their main problem is there is no way they can live up to past performance.
Increase in mobile device use for many computing needs has ended intel's "every year is just going to get better and better" market, they're in a mature and slowly shrinking market now. Big layoffs recently are the beginning of them shifting to the new smaller market.
