I wonder if this has anything to do with Intel’s big snafu with gen 13/14 processors. If the solution was to push a microcode update cuts the voltage to the CPUs, it’s basically a “stealth” nerf. Their spin doctors have been working overtime to frame this as erroneously high voltages that were being “fixed”.
I’d really like to see this graph divided between Intel and AMD.
i used to put orange stealth nefs up my nose as a child
Did that speed things up for you?
no, and it cut down on the airflow to my processor
How do we spin this as an upgrade?
Did it stop coolant leak though?
It could just be noisy data, it’s comparing 365 days of 2024 with ~40 days of 2025
From their website:
The first few days or weeks of a new year are less accurate compared to the end of a year.
It may have to do with spending more of the die on NPU and GPU features? Some of these new integrated processors have massive GPU cores on them.
Peak CPU?!? Hoping for some kind of graphene terahertz breakthrough.
Why is the graph not logarithmic? Urgh
Because if it was logarithmic, it would look almost horizontal.
What? No. Instead we would be able to see steady increases of say 10 % per year as a straight line instead of this, where it appears to be ever larger increases and the first ones essentially invisible.
My bad I was only looking at the thumbnail which was cropped and only showed the last few years.
