Intel chips could be slower but more power efficient in the future. Will AMD catch up?

Fairly self-explainatory title.

Soon future-proofing might be upon us. Probably there will be nothing to keep a good PC with 5nm components from lasting as a performance machine for 10+ years.

It's a known thing that some chips sacrifice efficiency for power (Tom's Hardware had an article about undervolting a Fury card and see how its efficiency improved a lot). But it could also be a sign of Intel going that route because they want to give a push to their smartphones business.

Whatever it is, I'm ok with it if this means improved software development that uses the extra cores of our multi-core chips. 

And if that means that PC components last longer... that's be great!

Maybe Dead Rising 3 wasn't a great port, but it launched what, 3 months after the X1 game? And they were working to solve the problems of the X1 version while the PC port was being done.

It took them three years to bring Dragon's Dogma to PC, more than enough time to make a great port!

Which is why I;m hoping they've elarned not to spend 3 years per port and narrow it down to months =P. If someone else can do it or a few others, so can Capcom.

Do you mean the same Capcom, that's too often called Crapcom? Yeah, I wouldn't blindly bet on them.
