one more thing; maybe in the far future add graphics processing units? technically they're processors, so it fits the naming scheme of your game

--FOREWARNING: long reviews and suggestions--
(im not a coder so i really don't know how long any of this would take, but these are all "maybe add?" rather than "you must add these", so don't feel pressured)
in short: very good game, had lots of fun; also lots to be built on
in long:
i've managed to get to 2048 starting from 1975 before going bankrupt as intel/inlet produced an ultra 7 at 2.2m MIPS @ 449 while the best i could do was 1.49M MIPS @ 599, it's like they had bonus tech somehow? (potential competition balancing issue, i was on easy lol)
everyone already said add a tutorial, which would be nice since i'm pretty sure most first-time players will simply drop the game before trying to understand anything
adding custom future technologies (not just developed versions of what we have today, though 24-core and beyond would be nice)
the ability to play as companies: of course you can keep the custom company feature a thing as that's also pretty cool (maybe add a custom logo creator too) but being able to play as Inlet/Intel or EMD/AMD would be cool as well, they don't even have to have anything custom; just being in control of a somewhat real company is a cool thing in my opinion
organization of the research tree: potentially add tabs of technologies like memory or cache size so there's less clutter and everything doesn't seem so intimidating to new players
everything before this is a big ask, but i'm gonna plead something larger--
add a 'complex' gamemode where everything isn't exactly 'harder', but it requires more thinking.
optimizations of cores and threading: having an ultra-efficient processor that competes with late-game competition would be cool (add this into the base game!!)
a full-on processor designer: not the frequency slider / die size slider, but a complete CPU maker where you must place the certain cores, IGPU's (maybe?), memory controllers, l1, 2, and 3 cache, etc etc that'd simply replace the sliders and would, in my opinion at least, make the game a lot more fun
i won't name anything more as this is your game and you choose what you want to do with it, hopefully you take some of these into consideration :D
