When is the next hardware upgrade for SSDF?

If we look at history, the next hardware is usually more than twice as fast as
its predecessor; Pentium 90 to Pentium 200MMX, 200MMX to Pentium II 450, Pentium
II 450 to Athlon 1200Mhz. I guess the next processor will be at least 2.5 Ghz
Athlon or Pentium IV 3.5Ghz. Since the fastest Athlon is only 2.2Ghz, We'll have
to wait for Athlon64 2.5Ghz in the last quarter, but maybe we can see it in SSDF
1st quarter next year when the price is more affordable, so I guess we'll still
be with Athlon 1200 for close to a year.
