1.) Moore’s Law continues, unsurprisingly.
hahaha
Intel is “on the way to 22[-nm],” Gelsinger said. “We have a good view of what 14[-nm] and [15-nm] will look like, and a good idea of how we’ll break through 10[-nm]. Beyond that, we’re not sure.”
hahahahahahaha (ok, to be fair this was almost prescient)
2.) The number of cores will continue to increase, as part of a “terascale” era of computing.
So it did, but because of AMD ironically.
3.) Compatibility rules. [...] “In 2020, you’ll have a petaflop on a chip – well, maybe not there, but in that range – at least 100 teraflops on a chip. And you’ll still be able to boot DOS"
More like Windows 11 won't even install on my 5 year old laptop. DX11 runs like crap on Intel Arc and DX9 is deprecated. Everything will be Linux in 5 years and everything not Linux will be emulated.
4.) Likewise, the Intel Architecture will be everywhere. With Intel’s X86 legacy, the challenge has always been to migrate the architecture into the mobile space, where the smaller die size and lower power consumption of RISC chips has provided an advantage. But Gelsinger argued that the 2 billion or so ARM chips in the marketplace should really be seen as a hodgepodge of different versions[...]
hahahahahahaha
