Tfw there is a year left for 7nm to hit the market

After 7nm there won't be any need to upgrade. At 5nm quantum tunneling fucks up everything so no big improvements will be made.

Im hanging on with a 670

>>tfw there is a year left for 7nm to hit the market
I'll stick with Intel and 10nm thankyou.

Hopefully by the summer olympics you'll have a new CPU

whats the smallest can they go? .1 nm?

*opens a cold one*
>when it comes to processors
*sips*
>I always go intel
0.1nm is the radius of a hydrogen atom, so unless you magically make metallic hydrogen nanotubes, then no. 5nm is the practical limit. After that, you get quantum tunneling effects which causes noise and therefore either malfunctioning or considerable slowdown.

It’s another “moore’s Law is dead” episode.

they might optimize their designs to be more efficient, though.

>tfw have to wait for Zen2 one year
>tfw FX6350 starts to piss me off for no reason

sure hope I can hold it

Quantum processors are only 18 months from being commercially available.

Moore's law has been dead for years.
ASML fucked up.

Is that it? did we reach the end of computer advancement?

Just download zsnes.

And they will only do boring science shit for a long time.

Why don't they just make bigger processor?

That's exactly what the Threadripper is.

only solid state semiconductor computer advancement.
quantum computing is supposedly coming up

Nope. Look up antiferromagnetic multi-level memory cell. Shit's real.

What happens when AI begins designing chips?

That's already happening

Why is the CPU flat and only use 2 dimensions when they can use 3 dimensions to optimize placement?

Or 4 dimensions, have it shift temporally

>a year left for 7nm to hit the market
Wrong, it's coming out at the end of THIS year.

I still use a phenom II

>After 7nm there won't be any need to upgrade
What are newer scaleable architectures? AMD or Intel might as well make an even smaller 4 core die that could be efficient for smaller devices or a huge behemoth for the enterprise. They could go sanic fast when they have a gorillion dies at hand.

Javascript will make it's way to OS kernel and you'll need to upgrade again.

Oh right, Vega is a thing, but that's for enterprise. No confirmation anywhere of them releasing anything for the consumer aside from Lisa's words on the last big presentation.

I'm still on my FX8350 would an upgrade even be worth it?

more like 18 years lol

if you wait till Zen2 then absolutely yes

>tfw Kaby Lake
I am content

Won't matter if crypto hasn't burned completely to the ground by then.

stop complaining, I'm still on an A8-6600K and HD 6670

I'm pretty content with my 1050ti and i3 8100.

>quantum computing
literally a meme
>anti magnet multiverse
sounds like a meme

I was on a Pentium T4200 from 2009 till 2016, when I couldn't wait for Ryzen 3, didn't have money for Ryzen 5 or 7, and foolishly bought the i3 6100.

then you can hold out just fine, that i3 is a speed demon compared to the pentium you had before

>0.1nm is the radius of a hydrogen atom

That would be 0.053 nm, not 0.1 nm.

he probably mean diameter

Optical computing is the future

I can see optical interconnects being a thing.
Light pipes to keep cache coherency between the separate dies.

That sounds awfully difficult to make

and where did you get this info. user?
