are you stating that computer manufactures don't rely on computers to design the next generation manufacturing techniques? Or that faster/better software isn't going to increase the rate of improvement in computer manufacturing? Material scientists , physicists, chemists, chip designers are all using software for modeling and exploration. And bigger/faster/better computers are helping drive innovations back into computer manufacturing. The process is feeding itself, and it has been for awhile.
