"anyone who remembers the frenetic rate of improvement of PC hardware through the 90s.

Ah yes, a nice 486, then a year later Pentiums are all the rage, couple of years and it's Pentiums 2s then graphics cards, RAM doubling every couple of years.

Does seem to have slowed down - have we reached a point where we have saturated what we can do with an x86 silicon chip? Have the manufacturers lost interest and switched focus to tablets? Are humans just not able to write software for faster and faster machines to eek every bit of power?
