I would rule it out. The 3D transistor design buys us just a few percent but really, we're starting to hit the walls of physics with our current technology.

- rbanffy 15y agoIBM already has 5 GHz chips. Do they know some physics Intel doesn't?
- eropple 15y agoDon't their chips use lower voltages? i.e., lower heat, but less distance within the circuit path that a given cycle can take.
- goalieca 15y agoNot really. They do have some cool fabrication tech though. They also run a different ISA and different pipeline which can make a world of difference. Really though, I wouldn't expect them to hit 10GHz anytime in the foreseeable future.
