Back in 2000 Intel & CPU companies promised that they will be able to
sell 10 Ghz CPU around 2010. However, we the user have not seen any 5
Ghz cpu and it 2006 - that means since 2002 (that's 3 years!) companies
have not anything beyond 3Ghz CPU. How are they ever going to build 10
Ghz CPU when they have not even built any 5 Ghz cpu. I should also
point out that - compies were thinking of building single core cpu
(most likly 32bit). I should point out that Windows Vista, HD-DVD and
Blue-Ray will start shiping by the end of next years or so. This means
an average user would need at least 4.5 Ghz of CPU to run Windows
Vista, Anti Virus and process 25050 Gig HD-DVD -Blue Ray files!
Although Linux users such as myself will be okay, however, this is very
bad for 90% users who are Windows User.

"A horde of microprocessor design engineers are currently laboring in
the labs of IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM), Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC), Advanced
Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE: AMD), Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and
elsewhere, striving to make 10GHz processors a reality. These chips
won't just have high clock speeds. They will include other tricks of
the trade, such as architectures that can increase parallelism, or the
ability to process multiple processor instructions per clock cycle, and
better access to larger on-chip data stores, known as caches."

Furthermore, Already 3 Ghz cpu is not enough for an average windows
users! It doesn't matter if CPU/Processor is 32 bit or 64 bit - duel
core. Today's apps require lots of speed - some application can't even
processes the information due to lack of speed, and 3ghz is very slow
indeed! Processing/encoding 7 Gigz files - while 3Dplaying games makes
computer very slow. With 50 Gig HD-DVD coming - user are going to need
very fast CPU to process 47 GIG files! When are they going to build a
CPU/Processor with respectable speed (around 6Ghz 64bit - duel core?
Any comments?
Part of the problem is die size. With cpus maintaining a certain physical
footprint, there is a limit to how fast they can function - this is
limited by how far electrons have to travel and also by heat generation -
I think they are nearing theoretical limits now. The multi core designs
have the potential to put tens of ghz capacity into a single chip, but at
that point, software must be redesigned to run multiple threads. I'm
interested to observe that current speeds are not much beyond 3.0 ghz -
I've had a 2.4 P4 for several years now, and it was not state of the art
then. Personally, I think things will have to evolve to a 64 bit RISC
architecture before long in order to keep up with anticipated demand. RISC
based processors run significantly faster than CISC chips of the same
speed.
