4004
in the year 1971 Intel released the 4004
changing the computer scene forever the
CPU was clocked at 740 kilohertz and had
a total of 2,300 transistors Gordon
Moore had predicted that the amount of
transistors on integrated circuits like
the 4004 would double every 2 years
since then companies like Intel AMD arm
and later on graphics companies like
Nvidia and ATI continued to pack
transistors onto tiny pieces of silicon
recently since the late 2000s or so
Gordon's prediction has become less
accurate as the transistor increase in
modern-day chips has started to stagnant
this is mainly because of the process
node that we've been stuck on since 2014
what if companies been doing for 4 years
clock speed is one thing companies have
tried to increase to get better
performance out of their processors of
course that didn't work so well for AMD
SFX line up with a 4.7 gigahertz FX 95
90 only reaching the performance of a
skylake I 3 at 3.7 gigahertz recently
leaks have started to show up about a
rumored Intel i7 8086 K Anniversary
Edition
the 8086 K name is a reference to the
original 8086 processor by Intel in 1978
though it is still on Intel's newest
coffee-like
architecture with a now standard core
count for an i7 intell's trying to push
this chip to an astonishing 5 gigahertz
we don't know the actual performance
gains or if the chip truly exists as
this is a leak and Intel hasn't
confirmed anything AMD has another
method of increasing performance which
is increasing core count since the
original dual-core processors chip
companies have been adding more quartz
to a single die so they can get higher
multi-threaded performance and 2017 AMD
released its thread Ripper lineup which
had processors with up to 16 cores and
32 threads Intel countered this with its
core X series which had a processor with
18 cores and 36 threads like I said
these processors do well in
multi-threaded applications but in
gaming where most of the desktop
enthusiasts market is that they do
similar to mid-range chips despite the
slowdown of Moore's Law companies are
still trying to make the transistors on
their chip smaller
some companies until supposedly has been
able to make ten nanometer chips for a
year or so now but for whatever reason
hasn't tried to release anything this
gave AMD an opportunity to step up to
the plate and produce and sell their own
12 nanometer chips which made a minor
improvement to the 14 nanometer process
a less known company named TSM C is
starting to manufacture seven nanometer
chips for Apple putting phones ahead of
desktops and transistor sized
GlobalFoundries who manufactures AMD
CPUs is also working on seven nanometer
chips and has confirmed that they will
be available by the end of 2018
AMD's GPUs which are created by TSM C as
well are going to be made on the seven
nanometer technology also innovation in
the microprocessor market is certainly
slowing down but it hasn't come to a
halt many companies are trying to
improve their products so we can have
faster cheaper and better computer
