The capacitor plague era, ever wonder why we don’t see a lot of PC’s in the early 2000s, this is why as everything with a cap would fail and kill the boards, essentially having to call on the oem to fix it.
The worst is still around: that GPU’s require more and more power. I wished more focus on efficiency. Not long until water cooling is mandatory, to get all the heat away.
If you want low TDP, the RX 6400 is twice as powerful as the 590 while having a TDP of 53W.
It’s the very top of the line stuff like 4090 that push the limit by achieving that very last 10% performance bump at the cost of using double the power, and that’s kinda like complaining a Bugatti Veyron gets terrible highway MPG figures.
Intel’s slot CPU interface. Sure it cleaned up motherboard layouts but the need for more comprehensive cooling solutions that would soon follow made this a bad direction to go in.

This is kind of a shit article. Most of these are just old hardware that eventually had modern improvements, not “trends.”
A “trend” is cold cathode black lights inside the case, not a silly naming scheme for CPU revisions.
IDK I would say 3d monitors are a trend that died pretty hard
I love my 3 monitor setup 🥲

Curved monitors.
I like them better than flat in ultrawide.They have their justification too.

They are. GTX 590 from 2011 has a TDP of 375W. RTX 4080 has 320W, while offering over ten times better performance. 4060 outperforms the 1060, 2060 and 3060 while having a lower TDP than any of them.
If you want low TDP, the RX 6400 is twice as powerful as the 590 while having a TDP of 53W.

How was IDE a hardware trend?
It’s an XDA article, what did you expect.
None of these are trends. They’re all hardware standards, and all but one of them are still very much here anyway
