Why are the GHz speeds in computers the same after such a long period of time?
In: Engineering
I haven’t seen it here yet for some reason, but one of the biggest reasons is heat from power consumption. Processors get unsustainably hot because they are less efficient as power consumption increases.
For decades, if people’s computer programs were too slow, they would wait a year for processor speeds to increase in order to get a “free lunch”.
