blauboad, it seems to me that companies which can not keep up in the processor race tend to talk about "post PC" eras. Meanwhile, DSP and embedded products - while certainly ubiquitous - do not bring in a whole lot of profit. That is the problem with the thesis: The cheap, "post PC" products are cheap. Too cheap.

Meanwhile, processors still rule the roost, despite more than a decade of pious declarations that they are dead. Somehow users still find needs for more power and more DRAM.

Cart driver: "Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!"

Peasent: "I've got one here."

Old man: "I'm not dead yet. Really, I feel quite fine!"

Peasent: "Don't listen to him. He's dead."
