How can it be fixed? How come there hasn't been any real progression since Sandy Bridge?
It can't, we just have to wait for RISC-V cores to arrive.

Intel sat on their ass while AMD flailed around with Bulldozer. Finally we're seeing some progress in the form of Zen, but Intel's new arch is still some years away.
what about subleq? OISCs are the future

Because Moore's Law is dead? Frequencies can't scale much further than they're at now without running into laws-of-physics problems. At 4GHz, light can travel about three centimeters before the next clock cycle starts. Of course you can still add moar coars. Intel's been busy doing that on the server side of things for years now. It hasn't trickled down because there's still so few things normal consumers do with a computer that are sufficiently parallelizable. Also lack of competitive pressure like >>60695005 mentioned.

You don't know what we're talking about itt; popsci retard
>>60694891
Fuck fixing it, a replacement's long overdue.
>>60694891
You mean real progression since the 80386

Pentium was a mistake. We have to go back.
Just get a company to design a high performance RISC-V cpu
>>60694891
There has been progress.
Just a few percent is what non-Moore's conjecture real progress looks like.
We basically never had anything technologically complex progress at such exponential rate for as long as computers did, but exponential growth is not sustainable.
We still will be able to do a lot with better software and moar cores and smaller transistors, but it will take longer.

RiscV doesn't even have SIMD specifications.
Good luck doing any sort of graphical or video related thing on it
>>60697384
Just use a GPU lol

They have it planned and they have some strange vector instructions with variable vectors length.

There is a lot more Intel could do, but isn't eg. VCORE auto tuning 7700k stock VID is set too high leading to crazy temps, also soldered TIM instead of the cheap shit they use, heat pipes embedded in the CPU die etc. but they just let things go - maybe not for much longer.

Because compatibility.
It's different for GPUs since shaders are distributed in text/bytecode format and are complied when needed. So newer cards can change the ISA without breaking older shaders per se
>>60694984
This is the truth
