Continuing fabrication of prior generation GPU and CPU architectures now appears the mass market production trend relying on the depreciating understood design process. Makes best of a ‘stacking’ device manufacturing environment into the physical brick wall searching for runway in an accelerating space escalating in cost. Back generation introduces incremental subsystem and compliment component options to deliver new rungs of utility and price performance; superior bus, interconnect and memory options for example, that stratify a mix of established product rungs under every next core processing generation. Builds a cross generation opposed to purely a by generation product stack. Advantage goes to the system developer over component developer releasing value propositions from a combination of cross generation options on system application need fit to use. Extends the useful life of components across process generations albeit stratifies core suppliers but for the system community breath’s useful life into product cycles extending range for development, sales and reinvestment.
