Hi Tim, RE: "A "nuclear winter" for CPUs?"

When I asked a F1000 IT manager if their PCs could handle the load our stuff could potentially put them under, the IT manager said they were planning on upgrading all of their corporate desktops over a period of 3 years in order to adequately handle these types of new application uses.

And if the mobile trend collides with the desktop, it just means the mobile picks up the performance requirements.

He also gave me the impression his contacts at some of the other F500 firms were also planning on upgrading their PCs. I think there's still a need for an upgrade cycle in corporate America.

The point of my post is, future performance requirements are based upon future needs, not the stuff from the past, nor applications available today. The demands for future performance requirements are based upon creativity and vision. That's more of a creative art, than a science.

When driving into the future, a person has to look ahead, not into the rear-view mirror.

Regards,
Amy J
