[citation][nom]StitchExperiment626[/nom]You didn't read this in Moores Law you only quoted what you wanted. "(being a combination of the effect of more transistors and them being faster)."The transistors are not being faster. Hence no speed doubling 18 months or 2 years of the processor."However, the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has growth slowing at the end of 2013, after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every 3 years.""In multi-core CPUs, the higher transistor density does not greatly increase speed on many consumer applications that are not parallelized. There are cases where a roughly 45% increase in processor transistors have translated to roughly 10–20% increase in processing power."[/citation]
you didnt read what i responded to
[citation][nom]kawininjazx[/nom]Remember how long intel had socket 478, early-late P4 and Celerons, then Socket 775 for Pentium 4/Celeron/Pentium-D/Pentium Dual-Core/Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad. I'm surprised they have been changing so much. You used to be able to actually upgrade your CPU, now you have to buy a new board.[/citation]
[citation][nom]apache_lives[/nom]Thats BS 478 might have the same ammount of pins but you cant run say a prescott chip in an early board, or a wilamette in the last gen boards, same as 775 -- a core 2 Q6600 prime example all the core 2 supported boards (early 965 chipsetset based boards) couldnt use it, P4 775 boards wouldnt touch core 2 chips etc.second, why use a rubbish prehistoric board with new high end modern cpu? they revise it and change the socket (most of the time) so they can improve things etc[/citation]
