How About a 710Ghz CPU in the near future

[Phil Thayer]

For many years the semiconductor industry has been looking at ways to
make the transistor smaller and faster.  As chip dies got down below 10
microns and transistors are working at the atomic level they have hit a
wall that nature has in place that they have been trying to get over.
 
Well, it looks like they may have found a way to get over the wall.
Check out this article (http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/feb06/2800) and see
what the latest transistor technology is.  This article goes into some
really heavy technical descriptions of what is being worked on.  Very
interesting.
 
Enjoy.
