what We Want is regulation of all multi-billion dollar tech giants.<br>e.g. so they would be obligated to make lets say 50% perf gain/year/dollar, and if not then they should supply government/scientists/education with their top tech for free + 100s of millions in fines that would go to education/scholarships/medicine/science, stuff like that.<br><br>these companies should be obligated to drive the technological progress of humanity and shouldn't be allowed to milk the market without repercussions in form of fees paid to society / scientific / technological  progress. you either make real gain every year or pay to government / scientists / education who would do that for you. as is all these companies are parasiting on society and progress, slowing the latter down for max profits.<br><br>thats an idea for you, find the right person/people and tell them about it. it might change this reality a lot.,(reply>), corporations are literally making billions in profits and their margins are ridiculously high aka x5-10 margins if not more, watch Ian Cutress' video about the cost to make these CPUs. they easily can make it with lesser margins and less billions, but due to stupid people like yourself who justify any overprice including x5-10 times overprice, stupid gutted down x5-10 times overpriced products with miniscule gains make it to the market and STUPID PEOPLE BUY THEM. and thats how these companies making billions.<br>as for me I'm 1000% sure these corporations don't put enough effort into R&amp;D, all they do is make a x2 faster product and then cut it down / gut it so all we get is 5-15% perf gain/year/dollar.<br>you know why?  because its way more profitable to sell overpriced crap and miniscule gains so prices on old cheaper to produce products don't drop.<br><br>these corporations are milking the market and parasiting on technological progress, examples of that are 14nm+++++++, modern overpriced GPUs, Qualcomm being sued by ARM for x5 times faster CPUs. but even if Qualcomm wins in court they'd just gut that tech, cut it up, and sell the same 5-15% perf gain/year/dollar for years as everybody else, because the moment they release a product with 100% perf gain/year/dollar trust me EVERY OTHER CORPORATION WILL. they all are capable to do WAY better, its just unprofitable to make big gains.<br>the moment intel needed to catch up to amd they did it like boom, done.<br>the moment google decided to make current gen SoCs on par with everything else - boom, done.<br>the moment Apple needed to catch up to Intel and make SoCs that are on par - boom, done.<br>samsung gutted their amd rdna chips to be on par with everything else including its own smartphones. just to not be forced to drop prices on those.<br><br>the problem is they never want to be x2-3-5 times better - disrupting markets is unprofitable because prices on your old hardware drop too much.<br>every corporation is performance/price matching all other products on the market, thats the main reason the progress is stuck. and people who buy x2-3-5-10 times overpriced 5-15-30% gains are a part of that probem.
