Has development of PC computers stopped?
I bought my current computer as custom model in 2010, 5 and half years from now. It came with Athlon II X4 635, 2.9GHz 4-core processor. When I went to look for new PC computers today to see where technology has developed I was shocked to see that the processors in my price range are still along the lines of AMD FX-6350, 3.9GHz clock speed. What has happened? It used to be for a long time that new components were magnitudes more powerful than old ones. Memory went from megabytes to gigabytes, processors from three-digit megaherz to four-digit megaherz. I read an article that said smartphones are going to replace PCs. Aren't those serving completely different function? You can't watch movies or play graphically intensive games on a smartphone.
Could someone fill me in what's going on in the PC market these days?
