Yeah, we're what 1, maybe 2 chipset nm scale revisions before quantum tunneling becomes an insurmountable issue with current tech? This wouldn't be a big deal, were any viable alternative technology not still in the rough equivalency of early 1950s computing. There's always gallium arsenide, theoretically being able to make chips in the 250GHz range, but it's expensive as hell compared to silicon, and the chip foundries to make them don't really exist. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:905621318] in To whoever...
