james91 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Forget 10GHz I want the 128GHz processor as predicted by Rob and make it 100 cores, 400 threads, 40 watt TDP while they are at it. why stop there why not got 5THz on 300 cores with 1000 threads with 25watt TDP.

danieljury3 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Did anyone else notice how he said that "Moore's Law states that the number of transistors in a common microprocessor will double every 18 months" and then went started doubling the clock speeds instead of the transistor count every 18 months. Maybe Moore's law breaks down when architecture updates give similar processing power with less transistors. Maybe someone who can be bothered can calculate if the number of transistors has doubled since the year 2000? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 So where are those DNA/Protein based computers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Architecture > Frequency THank you for pointing that out. So where are those DNA/Protein based computers? Deep in intels vast underground lair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I'm getting fairly concerned that they will soon be used as an artificial intelligence system used to recreate Cretaceous Period dinosaurs to aid in national defense. Skynet is coming... with velociraptors... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 You just gave Hollywood another great movie idea Badger: Jurassic Park vs. Terminators Btw, Skynet should have just made a lot of Velociraptor and T-Rex Terminators. Not like a bullet's going to take any of them down, and they'd be much faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Doubling transistors doesn't necessarily double the clock speed. This. Moore's Law only refers to transistor density and nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefox11 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 why stop there why not got 5THz on 300 cores with 1000 threads with 25watt TDP. Well, 300 cores with 1000 threads would be 3.333 threads/core and odd numbers don't sound cool. I'll go with 5 THz though, lol. Northrop Grumman, under a contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Terahertz Electronics program, has developed a new Terahertz Monolithic Integrated Circuit that more than doubles the frequency of the previously reported fastest integrated circuit. "The success of the THz Electronics program will lead to revolutionary applications such as THz imaging systems, sub-mm-wave ultra-wideband ultra-high-capacity communication links, and sub-mm-wave single-chip widely tunable synthesizers for explosive detection spectroscopy," said John Albrecht, THz Electronics program manager for DARPA.

MercuryDoun Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 They always thought they were gonna get 10ghz until it turned out there was this thing called Heat... Then some genius was watching an Action movie and saw a guy with 2 pistols kill more people than a guy with 1 machine gun... Thus the Dual-core was born, no more 10ghz!!
