I was going to give this on the day that we should have had 4Ghz copmuters, but forgot. Here it is a little late. Still think we will hit a 8Ghz computer by 2005???

Here's my predictions for the future :)

Found on a website...


October 16, 2003 4 GHZ

June 18, 2025 16384 GHZ = 16 TeraHz
April 9, 2027 32768 GHZ = 32 TeraHz
January 28, 2029 65536 GHZ = 64 TeraHz
November 18, 2030 131072 GHZ = 128 TeraHz
September 8, 2032 262144 GHZ = 256 TeraHz
June 30, 2034 524288 GHZ = 512 TeraHz
April 19, 2036 1048576 GHZ = 1 PetaHz
Feb 8, 2038 2097152 GHZ = 2 PetaHz
November 30, 2039 4194304 GHZ = 4 PetaHz

May 1, 2045 33554432 GHZ = 32 PetaHz
February 19, 2047 67108864 GHZ = 64 PetaHz
December 10, 2048 134217728 GHZ = 128 PetaHz
August 8, 2050 268435456 GHZ = 256 PetaHz


/me wishes IB were right. I want my 4Ghz machine

PowerPC is coming on strong. M$ is using them for next XBox.

2005 - PowerPC replaces AMD as the contender of choice against Chipzilla.

2008 - PowerPC replaces Intel as proc of choice



LOL

/me wishes IB were right. I want my 4Ghz machine Wow! I forgot all about that!!! :blush:
I *wish* we had 4 GHz NOW! :cry:
8 GHz next years sound fantastic! :rolleyes:

Well, lets see. If the next series of processors follow the increased pipe-line size, by the time we hit 8Ghz, we should have around a 120-step pipeline :shocked:

We should also have a 1-2Ghz bus (counting the quintpling or septupling that they do to the FSB by then)

We will have SSE4, 3Dnow!++++, processors that run at 1.5w (for the laptops), and prime95 finishing a 79M LL in a week.

Damn.

Why is the future not now!

Because it doesn't benefit Intel or M$.
