I now understand more your point, and agree with you. I also not interested in those linear small improvements... They require for sure big big big effort to be achievied, but in a time where every PC is 99% well enough... Heck, furthermore we were limited to 4 cores to i7 line for something that feels a decade or so...
Also, there should be more kind of a "More than Moore" approach even in CPU area... Even if this maybe, is more useful in mobile application than in desktop/server one... How, I don't know, but for example if they don't want to include something like raytracing, at least improvements on their laughable GPU would be apprecciated as much as it was for the introduction of QuickSynk Video!
ah, I agree with you! Intel is so much a boring company, with a schedule so much previdible and with new socket release totally unnecessary...
embedded world is so fascinating also to me!
ahahah... ehm... Those improvements didn't show up in a timespan of a year... So, I'm sorry, I may have a bad news for you...
