How About a 710Ghz CPU in the near future

[James Sissel]

We need Scotty to warp power our electrons so the arrive at their destination before they leave.  That should let us really bump up our chip speeds.

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.
