They aren't slowing down tech to make money, they are running into the actual limits of the current technology only reason we still have 3.04 ghz PCs for 3 years, now they just added dual core, next is quad core, etc they will continue to keep building up the parts they can but the theoretical limits are getting pretty close to being the limits for PCs. Until the next big breakthrough happens, it's been in the news for years, they wanted everyone a few years back on a big bandwagon to stop judging PCs by MHz and processor power since they would start being a stagnate number for many years.

Yeah, I think I'm going to wait for quantum processors before I do my next upgrade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi..ce soir?
Well, that's from Nanette Workman's song, not me and not aimed to you anyway. Do you know her? I recall a thread that shows 40 50 some years old super girls...She's the summit of them all.
Just Google it and you'll see
