The average consumer doesn’t care why it’s the fastest. For a time, they’ll have a faster chip than their peers. Only people on Lemmy would say “yeah but that’s only because new nm process, so it doesn’t count!”

If the conversation is between chip manufacturers talking shop, that matters. For everyone else, it’s irrelevant.

They’re the first to get the fastest chips, so saying their chips are the fastest is… misleading? But also “of course” it’s true?

I’m confused.

I don’t think anybody was misled into thinking it meant this chip would always be the fastest on the market.
