# Application of the Computer Capacity to the Analysis of Processors Evolution

## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how the concept of computer capacity can be used to predict future processor parameters by analyzing historical design changes, with a focus on Intel processors.

## Contribution

It introduces a method to forecast processor parameters based on changes in computer capacity, aiding future processor design predictions.

## Key findings

- Computer capacity varies with processor design parameters.
- Predictions align with historical processor evolution.
- Method applicable to different processor families.

## Abstract

The notion of computer capacity was proposed in 2012, and this quantity has been estimated for computers of different kinds. In this paper we show that, when designing new processors, the manufacturers change the parameters that affect the computer capacity. This allows us to predict the values of parameters of future processors. As the main example we use Intel processors, due to the accessibility of detailed description of all their technical characteristics.
