My opinion is that the continuing advancement of speed is delaying the day when computer manufacturers have to start seriously thinking about how to make machines with huge numbers of processors cheaply and effectively. I remember a couple of years ago Robert Hyatt saying that 1 GHz would be the limit of speed, because above this signals emit too many radio waves. I am disappointed that he has been proven wrong. Could any electronic engineers out there hazard a guess as to where the limit really will be reached, please? -g On June 28, 2000 at 20:31:30, Michael Neish wrote: > >Sorry if this is old news on this board, but I just read that the Pentium 4 is >now out, clocking at 1.5 GHz. > >Any comments? > >Cheers, > >Mike. > >P.S.: > >Read it at the BBC Web site. > >http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_810000/810678.stm
