I have been away from chip design, system administration, programming etc., for so long I must admit I often do not appreciate the ramifications in new type/levels of performance of CPU GPU, as well as operating systems.
Though it is interesting to read about. It sure is hard to find a nitch market now a days. Gee I can remember back in the seventies, late sixties when INTEL was a prime designer and fabricator of memory products, e.i. RAMS and ROM.
How the landscape has changed in recent years. So many companies could not compete and dropped out.
Interesting how ARM has risen to the position it now maintains.
