BRIEFING PAPER

This figure describes the superimposition of CPU and PC game sub-system technological evolution curves. According to the figure given by the graph, great changes in processor speed of CPU and the speed requirement of the PC game have taken place over past two decades. The CPU processor speed has accordingly increased nearly 350 times from almost100 MHZ in 1991 to over 3800MHZ in 2005. Meanwhile, the PC Game speed requirement increased nearly 300 times from 1996 to 2007. The CPU curve begins with the discovery of the professor speed of CPU could reach one million periods per second. At the starting of the curve, it is clear to see the relatively slow processor speed for the early few years from 1991 to 1996. Then, with more and more complex applications of computer; the requirement for the computational speed is increased rapidly, the slow phrase is followed by a steadily growth from 1996 to 2000. Then, there is a steep ascent from 2000 to 2005. I suppose that the CPU curve will increase continually with the development of the computer and high-speed network technology. In addition, the PC Game curve begins with the processor speed firstly reaches one million periods per second. Because of higher speeds mean faster data manipulation and increased computer performance resulting in enhanced user experience, especially during game play, therefore, the processor speed requirement of PC Game begins to increase sharply from 2000 to 2007 after a relatively stable rising phrase from 1996 to 2000. In a word during the period of almost 20 years the CPU processor speed and processor speed requirement of PC Game had gone up rapidly.
