Remember how bad sales of chips were during the financial meltdown of 2008? Well, they were a lot worse this year, two years into the supposed recovery from the recession. Indeed, the number of CPUs sold in the last quarter were the worst in a decade, according to Mercury Research, a boutique research shop specializing in the chip industry. Year-over-year sales were down 9.3 percent in the third quarter, compared to an 8.8 percent drop in the last quarter of 2008 as the recession hit hard.
