The Future of Processors

500GHZ Processor in the Works.

Processors right now top out at around 5Ghz (5 billion computations per second). We can do so much with our computer already. Imagine what a desktop with 500 times the power of current top of the line processors can do! Multitasking, Realistic Looking Games, a more intuitive user interface, and the like. You can be rest assured that IBM is turning these dreams into reality with their research on transistor technology. It's still a long ways off but im sure that the processor will eventually be finished within our lifetime. Right now, we just have to imagine of what we can do with that monster of a processor so that when it comes, we can be able to use it to its utmost potential.


Intel Future Roadmap

After the soon to be released Core 2 Duo processor slated for July 23, 2006, what's next for the processor giant? Processors' will only continue to be miniaturized in an aim for even more computing power. Three Years ago, processors are at 120nm in size, now its at 65nm, by 2010, it will be 22nm. What does this mean for us consumers? Simply put, it means faster processors at lower prices!
