turn on or off. in that way they represent 1 or 0 the two key parts of a computer

what does a transistor do?

What is yesterday's tomorrow?

its interesting how they got to 32nm but dropped out on Quad... thats way to many transistors....
-
no two years is in like 10 days...wow, i cant wait! imma go preorder a 32nm westmere right now!
oh wait.....

Thats growth for the better I guess, new products, new and better, cheaper, etc. I guess its the finer points of capitalism, and supply and demand. I really can't blame them for their methods to stay employed, the horse goes before the cart.
-
Yes the same is with cars and all other industries they make their products just a little bit better every time so we will keep purchasing.
-
Even if they get to the point they cant make them any smaller with silicon transistors/memory, they will simply make the chips larger, or even stacking layers of transistors.

This "growth" method of industry is often controlled to keep the people at the computer jobs in business. I remember 320 or so bits per second baud rate modems when they had the technology back then to make 56K modems. Even 2 or 3 gigs, as you know, will be small, perhaps 10 gigs will be sufficient for most home users. I even heard of talk of eliminating disks altogether, I guess your right though there will be more in the future, but to keep people employed in the computer industry process.
Hmm.. 32 nm is mind-blowing enough, More respect for these engineers please.
