10 GHz CPU's-Where are They?

On a scale of one to "10" how possible is is that we will break the 10 Ghz barrier within 5 years?

sounds like were gonna need server motherboards with like 3 hexcore 4ghz cpu's

[NovaTechLive]

@BroknSircut Intel actually just released a CPU that can come stock 4Ghz, though I like the way you think.

[BroknSircut]

@NovaTechLive wow 4ghz eh, not too shabby. But how's the price. Lol guessing not even close to amd's cpu price range that's for sure.

[NovaTechLive]

@BroknSircut You are correct, for the money you pay you could probably get a hexacore AMD CPU+mid range graphics card.

2nd cmt: Intel has a virtual monopoly on CPUs, and they have stated they invest 10 years into new materials, so they are not interested in working with diamond wafers, since they have no competition, and wouldn't you like to keep making billions from a fixed amount of money already spent in R&D? They want to milk old technology for as long as they can, but I am working with some brilliant people to dethrone these old kings in crumbling castles...

@martydrooo very good points. I agree on paper superprocessors can be built. Putting theory into reality is harder then it sounds though. I do also agree about intel milking old technology. I'm about as antintel as they come (at least to the way they do business, not always their products)I am curious as to what ur working on. Would u be interested in doing an article 4 novatechlive? Or even make a video for the youtube channel on it? It could help promote what ur doing? PM if ur interested.

I got a 10 gigahertz processor in my garage. I powered it up with a liquid nitro blast. Then I hooked up my cybercore xl79, maxed it out with a mega jolt caffine power generator, poured some cyber juice over it. Hooked it through that all important superflux capacitor until it delivered that super gigahertz power punch.

My computer buddies at MIT no longer want anything to do with me, but as they say it's rather lonely at the top.

I have a 12 core 4.8 ghz processor ^^

[jashelps]

i got a 4.6 ghz processor

I personally have a Sandy Bridge Processor at 4.7Ghz, and it is insanly powerful, compared to when I started. However with existing Silicon/Copper and heavy/rare metal based chips we use right now I doubt much higher clockrates can be achieved, Just more efficient archetechture. Processors need a revolutionary turning point to advance any further in Clockratesm, we have not yet discovered this and "More's Law" is expected to fail in 3 - 4 years.

I am a Physics/ Chem Student, and I have learnt a lot, Overclocking is a huge hobby, Intel and AMD both realised it is Physically imposible to produce a stock cpu over 4Ghz, and its been like this since about 2004. The Problem is 1. Heat and 2. data stability, the higher clockrate means that the entire system is more susseptible to disturbances and interferance and data loss, and also the incredible heat, is disipated over something the size of a 1 dollar coin, we are talking over 100W.

@gamer1337omg not really you just have 4 cores running 3.4 GHz thats it
