That could be >five years from now. Intel could produce a microprocessor capable of 10 Ghz very soon, but they simply won't because they have to profit gradually from 3Ghz to 4 Ghz to 5Ghz etc... Simply the Murphy LAW is a profitable marketing strategy that has worked gradually, if they make the mistake of producing a microprocessor capable of 10 Ghz in the next 6 months they will lose a lot of money, by NOT squeezing our pockets every six months as they have done for the last 20 years.
