So with smaller process technology, it can go a bit higher, >but it's still limited. Limited? I require proof to accept such a statement. Have you seen such proof or are you guessing? I know what you are saying has been alleged in many places on the internet, but I have yet to read an explanation (much less see a proof) of how that can be so. It's counter-intuitive and therefore requires compelling evidence. On the other hand, I surely wouldn't understand the proof (one way or the other) even if I saw it ;-) Besides, the issue may be one of practicality rather than "proof".
