    Visualizing 40 Years of Music Industry Sales

    30-years-of-music-sales-2.png

    Gone are the days when people would line up at the music shop for a hot new release. In fact, CD sales are down 80% in the past decade. Today, physical format sales only account for 17% of the industry’s revenue.

    There is, however, one bright spot in physical format segment: vinyl. In 2017, vinyl sales hit 25-year high after making a slow and steady comeback.

    This problem seems to be limited to Supermicro computers but when the full extent of this is revealed, we may find other OMDs, BIOS manufacturers, Wireless SOC and general purpose SOC products have been compromised.  One of the uncomfortable realizations is virtual fab companies can license an ARM design and build a SOC that contains functions that cannot be defined from outside the chip.

    This could be as bad as Meltdown and Spectre (still not fixed). 

    There isn't much we consumers can do to limit exposure.   My advice would be to not purchase a new computer for the next couple years if at all possible.  Wait for new architectures and new CPU chips to be designed and brought to market.   If you must buy now, get Intel inside, not ARM.
