We recently had to toss out an old PC – a huge beige box with a 300MHz CPU (overclocked from 266), that was handmade ten years ago for major bucks. Then someone said “geez, my phone now is three times faster than this”. It made us think about the advances in chip miniaturization and raw speeds that have been happening lately. Smartphones pose the most daunting task – to combine performance with the lowest power consumption possible, and thus play a huge role in the mobile processing war.
