It’s like when I read a book in the 90s that explained planned obsolescence in a child-friendly way.
When should have we stopped developing new processors and computing architectures? I just want to make sure that we never improve upon existing tools to avoid that pesky planned obsolescence.
Pentium? Core Duo? Core i7? AMD Ryzen? Apple M1?
Never, but the yearly iterations are there to keep people upgrading. Same thing with cars.
Some people need the newest hottest thing when they could upgrade every 5-7 years (10-15 in the case of cars) and be fine and companies cash in on that.
It was roughly 2 years between the M1 and M2 which is a longer time between generation refreshes than Intel and about on par with AMD. The A series updates roughly as often as the top tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 processors. Apple really isn't doing anything outside of industry norms here.
