"The mother of all CPU charts"

Don't know if this has been mentioned here before, but here's a nice article with some informative charts:

Thanks, I just need some holiday to read it

Yes, it's 51 pages long. Many are just charts and the ones with text are each pretty short, but it's still not a really quick read. The clock speed and performance per watt graphs covering 1993 to 2005 (2006 projected) are pretty amazing. Incredible progress in only 12 years!

Of course interesting and worth reading
