Moving beyond silicon to break the MegaHertz barrier We're rapidly closing in on a decade since the first desktop processors cleared the 3GHz mark, but in a stunning break from earlier progress, the clock speed of the top processors has stayed roughly in the same neighborhood since.

Interesting Ars Technica article. It's pretty clear that technology has been in a stalemate for a while to get more processing power, hence the additional cores as a substitute. So I was pleased to see the article sum it up: "Still, the payoff from additional cores is likely to shrink fast, and it's nice to think that there may be something on the horizon that could restart a MegaHertz race." That's what we need man, more speed! |
