Somewhat related, yesterday there was a post about a new 6.2 GHz Intel CPU and I was wondering how fast the transistors in current CPUs are. The latest number I read - I think 2008ish - is that there are about 25 gate delays per pipeline stage which would give an upper limit of about 6.5 ps. Does anyone publish that kind of numbers for state-of-the-art processes?
