I wonder if this has anything to do with Intel’s big snafu with gen 13/14 processors. If the solution was to push a microcode update cuts the voltage to the CPUs, it’s basically a “stealth” nerf. Their spin doctors have been working overtime to frame this as erroneously high voltages that were being “fixed”.
I’d really like to see this graph divided between Intel and AMD.
It could just be noisy data, it’s comparing 365 days of 2024 with ~40 days of 2025
From their website:
The first few days or weeks of a new year are less accurate compared to the end of a year.
Why is the graph not logarithmic? Urgh
Because if it was logarithmic, it would look almost horizontal.
What? No. Instead we would be able to see steady increases of say 10 % per year as a straight line instead of this, where it appears to be ever larger increases and the first ones essentially invisible.
My bad I was only looking at the thumbnail which was cropped and only showed the last few years.
