More Ghz is dead
Two more generations to go - 65nm and 40nm - then it ends. 40nm process will be VERY expensive - and I bet only InHell will do it. They will chase the elusive 25nm process - but they will never make it work. This means that 5 years from now, the number of transistors per square centimeter will be a fixed number. At THIS point, the ONLY way to get a faster processor, is to make the most of the space you have. This means that you fill it up with cache and registers and remove anything that you can get away with. Viola! You now have an Itanium chip.
