    I agree, but they wouldn't stop production or design due to a mere observation.

    ahh I somehow only thought about 10nm and didn't notice while reading :(
    Anyways the 14nm are just a refresh, old stuff with higher tick rates.. (at least that is the public information atm) The reality of the nm was lost years ago, the current ones are by far not 22nm. I guess one of them started to go away from the real value for marketing reasons and all of them followed.

    about moores law and why they failed:
    intel moores law - Google Search (intel is advertising with it)

    edit: just read what I wrote and the wording is terrible, now I see why it doesn't make sense.. What I meant is that they are not able to keep up. It was planned to keep up with it especially as they used it for marketing purpose. The source is related to other things, of course. Its more the goal and keeping the "silent promise".

    Make sure that whatever you gets suits the part of the world you are in. If you are in hot environments then stay away from AMD as they can overheat easier than Intel. an i7 would always be a gamers choice but an i5 can keep up if you are clever with settings. 8Mb of RAM is the min that I would recommend. At the end of the day don't spend more than you can afford, no point having a best computer ever if you can't pay the electricity bill. Building your computer will be a huge saving as it is. Having a good tower with plenty of fans and drive bays is highly recommended as is a good power supply. You never know when you will expand so having extra power (for graphic cards/drives) will save you in the future. There is normally no need to ever have the absolute best available since the higher cost for the best is never in proportion to how much better it is (is 5% more performance worth 50% more money).
