What are the interdependent and mutually stimulating relationships between the development of software and chips?

First of all, the chip is the basis of software and rely on software is the key to play the role of hardware. So the two depend on each other. At the same time, when the hardware is not developed, many functions need to rely on software to achieve. With the development of hardware, the function of hardware can be enhanced, the corresponding function will not need software to realize. With the innovation of hardware and the improvement of performance, new requirements for software are put forward. One obvious example is the game industry, game innovation, the increase in function, the progress of computer graphics, people can render more realistic images, so that the computer graphics industry and the CPU has put forward the performance requirements. Correspondingly, when hardware development takes precedence over the innovation of software, it will drive the game manufacturers to improve the software, to maximize the use of hardware performance, to make more outstanding results. From this example, we can see that the development of software and the history of chip interdependence, mutual pull of the relationship.
