i believe they don’t release a 30ghz proc
because nothing on the market could USE it,
things would have to be totally revamped,
memory would have to keep up, and what do
you rls after you drop the 30g bomb? Gimme
that proc and I’m not buying another one
for….. a long time.

tells you all you need to know about intel as a company.

It is NOT “innovation”.

If you believe that, you are the world’s BIGGEST gulliable retard! (A perfect speciman for Marketing Depts to abuse again and again.)…Fucking WAKE UP!

Its called “planned obsolescence”.

The intention is to keep getting you ALL to buy newer and newer hardware. Even when you don’t need it.

Their Marketing teams will make you feel you must “keep up with the times”. So they release more and more new shit.

Microsoft also helps out by delibrately adding features and implementing software such that you need to upgrade your hardware to get the “full experience”. This is especially true with DirectX. They keep upping it so that you NEED to buy new hardware. Think about it. The software market drives the hardware.

This also has an effect on the skill of the programmers. They are molded into thinking that ever increasing computing power will compensate for inefficient coding. This is WRONG. Its amazing why software starts to get bloated after a while. What’s sad, is that the typical computer user just accepts it. They accept the crap that’s given to them without a thought.

Do any of you realise that you can build an entire OS with full “point and click” GUI that can fit into the size of a floppy and boot in less than a few seconds? No. Big software corporations don’t tell you about that, because they want you to keep investing into their CRAP. Their crap has ever increasing system requirements. Which means you need to spend money!

And what about AGP and PCI-Express? Marketing and hardware companies try to make people think AGP is dead. And yet, both Nvidia and ATI will still be producing DirectX 10 cards in AGP form! Simply because there is still a strong market for it! (People aren’t totally stupid)

It isn’t just computers. Its technology in general. Say with mobile phones, they keep on adding more shit you don’t need. For each new generation, you see they keep changing the power adapter connector delibrately. So you are “encouraged” to buy newer phones.

So what about the environment? What happens to the “obsolete” gear? Doesn’t it end up in landfills? WHO CARES! Because there is a LOT of money to be made from gulliable people! FUCK the environment! Let’s make MONEY!

There’s a BIG difference between “innovation” and “planned obsolescence”. Don’t confuse them.

I saw a few YEARS ago Intel had a 30Gigahertz CO-PROCESSOR.

Why the hell are they dragging their feet in releasing that type of tech??

Because they make more money creating the tiny steps in between and releasing those first.

What I say is… make these little steps be larger leaps… charge more cash… give the market a chance to hit the new plateau….

It was bad enough like 3 months after Core DUO premiered there was the Core DUO 2… to give ya an idea where I’m comming from.

Why not share some innovation with their mobile CPU market? 624mhz has been a “barrier” on PDAs for YEARS. And the tech spec for the xScale CPUs states a theoretical max of over 1,130MHZ! Where is the faster CPU????

sorry… I’m a bit of an uber geek on multiple fronts…

Would you rather have it they stopped innovating? Nobody is forcing you to buy a new cpu every year right?!

The market is flooded enough as it is…. why not just jump two or three of those “releases”, and knock out the best of the best and give us all a few years to get the cash to buy it?

It was bad enough when it took 2 years before all new shit came out…

Prediction for this year : AMD win back performance crown with Barcelona in the fall, then Intel steal it back at the end of the year with Penryn.
