You can buy 4 800 MHz AMD Athlon chips for the price of a single 1.5 GHz chip. If you want ultimate performance, that is the only path that makes sense. At some point, I expect to see multiple CPU's on a single die. Why not integrate 64 CPU's on a single chip? The interconnects could be traced right on the silicon. And you would not need to shield the darn thing for x-rays. ;-) Consider the difficulty of creating one 64-GHz chip verses 64 1-GHz chips as well as the cost. The only remaining question is: "Why don't all machines have multiple CPU's" ?
