That's such a reductive argument. I work in semiconductor manufacturing and trust me nobody cares about clock frequency.

- coldtea 7y agoThat's a "virtue out of necessity" kind of situation -- why would they care for that now that it wont advance as much anymore? Back in the day though, all the "semiconductor manufacturing" industry touted and advertised strongly was its annual clock frequency advances (similar to how the camera industry switched from touting megapixel advances to low-light performance, video codecs, and other features).
