Saying it hasn't changed at all might be an exaggeration but yeah it probably isn't much better, the biggest jumps probably were Nehalem to Sandy bridge and Ivy bridge to Haswell which both were a 15-20% improvement in performance at the same clockspeed, AMD has been in an almost total standstill since the Phenom 2 though..
TSMC also is working on a 10nm process and it's coming out ahead of intel, and with intel having had that many issues with it's 14nm I don't see how it's gonna go much better with 10 nm. Also a process change has absolutely no bearing on performance only power consumption (although you could argue that since it draws less power and heats up less you could just crank the clockspeed up and make it faster but that not what's happening nowadays), it's hardware revisions / cache quantity / instructions sets that make shit faster.
7nm for x86 CPUs isn't happening before Q4 2018 or 2019 especially with Apple siphoning all the production capabilities as usual.

I doubt Intel is going to go past 10nm for a long time. I fully expect Global Foundaries 7nm to come to marlet first. But I seriously doubt it'll reach consumer desktop processors until maybe 2020 at earliest Maybe Intel will skip 10nm and jump straight to 5nm as a result of sweet competition but we wont be seeing that until maybe the late 2020s with how much process changes are slowing

MASTER RACE Stay triggered laddeh

Wow user, you sure sold me on why all PC users should called themselves #MasterRace.
That looks like it was taken straight from their reddit.
Wait a second… Back you go, little man.

Hello user, i made this flag here on Holla Forums, it was reposted around the internet later. Its my flag. I still haven't removed those shitty lines around the PC logo. Someone needs to fix this.
Tyler White
Why would they go from 10 nm to 7 nm? Bigger numbers=better.
Justin Stewart
Sure thing user, whatever you say.
So it's either a reddit meme or a cuckchan meme. HMMMMMM.

I expect Intel to skip 10nm and jump to 7nm to keep up with competition. After that I can maybe see Intel inch slightly to 5nm to stay ahead of the game but 5nm is believed to be the absolute limit for silicon By 2020 we'll see GFs 7nm process hit consumers, TSMC will deliver 10nm, and Intel will probably adopt GFs process. By 2025 we might see Intel inch their way to 5nm while GF is still 7nm and TSMC is down to 7nm as well
Fuck you I hit my post button too early
Carson Hill
You know, it feels like shit when your meme gets called a reddit meme.
Parker Edwards
They can't just jump to 7nm. They'd have to work on it for a while, which will let AMD jump ahead. They will release 10nm, cut prices on everything to ~$700 and hope that the brand name will make people spend the extra money.
That's what you get for using a term that incites consolewars, and for using TPB in anything.
