I don't know but it sounded dumb to me. A friend and I was having a conversation about processors, and he said with time processors (CPU) performance degrades. I am not talking about 10 years here, 2 years or 3. He said when you buy a CPU it will perform much faster/better than it does after 2-3 years. It definitely sounded dumb to me. Maybe he was right.

No, he is not right. Electronic devices perform at same level throughout their life. They may suffer some wear and tear due to aging capacitors and accumalating dust but they either perform at the same level or they stop working at all. The thing about processirs becoming slow is actually due to increase in demands of future softwares. If you keep using the same set of softwares, without evev updating any of that, your system will perform at the same level after say 5 years as it used to perform at the time you bought it.

not dumb but funny when the gujarati girl in my office pronounce Google as "googall":lol:

similar to that when US clients would say a Gujju guy named "Hardik" as HardDi*k. :p

Actually the processors do become slow after extensive use on load after a while . They do degrade . This has been discussed in the Off topic thread too , where Sam(from Jakarta) posted a detailed information on it.
They start drawing more power in order to perform the same task they used to do earlier. Not a significant change , but still it happens.

I think its related to the clock-chip , ( oscillator ).

Well could you link me to that thread?
I know it takes a little bit of time for the CPU (or it could be the HDD!) to adjust and come back to it's normal performance after extensive use, I see that when exiting from a game after playing for long, but that's not anything permanent. Also all electronic items consume more power than when it's new, that doesn't mean it degrades it's performance. I still don't believe a CPU can degrade after two years of usage, however extensive, maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt.

He: I don't know,but my pc is really fast,internet is working super fast,software runs great,no hang,windows 7 graphics is awesome......:p So I think it will either i5 or i7!
Me :Hmm..so when did you bought that pc ?
He:In 2008 !
Me :yep you have i7 :lol:


And one of my friend think Amd cpu degrade each year and after 2 year it start Melting !:rofl:

I was buying some Usb 3g Dongle at one shop.. and he showed me some iBall Dongles and i asked what is difference between this and their was one more of some company , and that guy said iBall has Kareena kapoor as brand ambassdor!.. Me & friend died laughing their and den and afterward we got to know dat guy was very serious about that statement
