Yeah, lets face it, if the gaming industry were a college campus, the console gamers would be the arts and humanities majors, while the PC gamers would be the hard science majors. So then, does all this basically mean at least a temporary end to the effects of Moore's law and that all these gamers that seem to think we'll see PS5/Nextbox by 2018 are full of shit?

Actually the majority of gamers don't exactly have any sort of secondary education ... While there maybe some more PC gamers who are STEM majors/graduates and myself included there's not a whole lot of differences in education department plus most STEM graduates are too busy making the big bucks rather than going about hobbies such as gaming or going to a forum to participate in consoles wars endlessly bickering.

What will be ending is that we will get no cost reduction when moving on the the next process node temporarily. What I do expect to happen is that once we have 13.5nm EUVL figured out we can get some cost reduction there when manufacturing chips on a smaller process nodes. The gamers that are expecting a PS5/Nextbox in 2018 are indeed full of shit for the most part ...
