How About a 710Ghz CPU in the near future

[Phil Thayer]

Not too far from what they are talking about.  Processing at the speed
of light.

	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.

		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.
