Processor aging...

i have always been under the impression that a processor slows down after much aging and use...

now is it the processor core that gets old? and if so... what happens to dual-cores after a while... does mebbe one core slow down/age faster then its other twin ever?
 
uhh, he's on about wear and tear, not research and development.

unless work is exactly and constantly halved amongst the 2 cores, then one will wear out quicker than the other. but i dont think wear and tear is anything to worry about if you keep it cool, remembering that people are still running Pentium II's (me)

according to Moore's Law, a processors computing power doubles every 18 months. look it up on wikipedia.

Hes talking about aging...

I would think that they would age around the same, since they are both pretty much the same exact thing, and on average both cores are used the same.

But i would think that by the time that starts happening, you wont be using that cpu anymore.

not a processors computing power, the complexity of transistors and such.
thats just the development of processors, were trying to talk about a single processor, not processor technology.
