Processing plans for the future

[Apotherix]

How do you think processing is going to turn in the future? What do you think about Intel's plans and how they are going to edge AMD out of the Market?

I think that the "Ghz" issue is going to become less and less of an issue (through Hyperthreading, etc.) The raw computing capability of the chip will become more important.

I'm looking forward to molecular processors, hopefully by 2020. We're talking 1KHz, but 1,000,000,000+ operations with each clock cycle. Low power consumption, high processing power (due to the massively parallel nature of molecular processing).

I could just see it though - people would still buy a system with 20GHz over the 1KHz system, because Giga is more.

I agree.
