Rolls royces all ready leases their aircraft engines fkr years.

Now I am not sure about items for individual consumers , but this approach has some advantages. Although to be fair you pay the engine only when it runs and when you service it if it mber correctly.

It allows for convergence of interests since R&R and the airline aim to make the engine as efficient as possible and to last for as much as possible.

The steady income allows R&R to focus on making really good engines without focusing on making a ton of them and just push them around via marketing.

Again this is just for a product without individual consumers as final customers

It was always the natural conclusion of things. Either the architecture gets significantly more efficient or the cards get significantly larger/ more power hungry.

Architecture improvements alone were never enough to quell the thirst for faster processing.
