The Q6600 CPU in my main dev machine came out in 2007. Today's CPUs score ~2x what it scores on benchmarks: http://anandtech.com/bench/product/53?vs=836 …

@cmuratori it's not dead, it just left its home on the desktop and settled in on mobile.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori Aha, but Moore's law is about transistor density, not CPU speed, & is still alive & well. Heat issues led to the two decouplingThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori ... so now we get additional cores as our Moore's law bounty instead. -
@andrewwillmott Nope. That's a common misconception. - Show replies

@cmuratori pardon my pedantry, but Moore's Law was originally about transistor count, not performance. Also, 2 years, not 18 months, so ~8x. -
@w23ru The transistor count has only tripled in that time, instead of 8x.
