Is x86 obsolete? Why won't intel or amd make a better

because compatibility and negligible gains

Because Intel already has monopoly over shit

Why would they spend all the money to build a new architechure to compete with themselves? Cheaper to dye shrink and optimize

>>59972867
didden't intel create an new instruction set like 15 years ago which failed dramatically?

>>59972867

x86 is mighty powerful and designing a new competitive arch need Intel kind of resources. Intel won't because the are the market leader.

x86 is not obsolete because it's widely used an will be for a while.

>>59972867
Intel's next arch is supposed to remove some backwards compatibility to optimize x86. Wether they succeed or just end up with Itanic 2.0 remains to be seen. http://wccftech.com/intel-developing-new-x86-uarch-succeed-core-generation/

Processor archicecture can't ever be used at full capacity like how humans use 3% of their brains improvement is in the doing not the making

>>59972892
Because there were already other architectures and they all lost to x86
also this >>59972892

Also there is a better architecture already, ARM

Is that really what SpongeBob SquarePants looks like at 4K? Wow.

when apple jumps the ship to ARM, that's when things will take off :^)

Actually we use 10% of our brains, get your facts right dumbo.

yeah it's like you're actually there

Gosh damn I want a 4K television so bad right now.

>>59973170
Actually we use 100%, except you of course.
Brain doesn't need to activate all at once.

but my almonds do

If we could activate our brains like we could activate our almonds, we'd all be psychic clairvoyant supergeniuses.

Show me one ARM processor that can beat a recent x86 quad core. The xeon d which has the same tdp as a 2670qm already shows that x86 can have high perf for watt. RISC-V is more of an actual competitor but it's not quite ready yet and compatibility is also an issue.
