i read a lot online about the future of processor technology. i notice a lot of intel industry insiders are all gloating that the future of processor is to be 'multi-core architectures'. Considering this argument, considering the exponential growth rate of clock speeds for processors, over 1960 - 2002, processors were growing at speeds which meet demands that have been matching Moore's Law [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law ]

 

However lately architecture design has been working with technology in the 65 nm range, first being used in early 1996 with the Intel Pentium IV. that was 4 years ago. In 2010 32nm was introduced for testing purposes, we will not see it in the industry for some years to come.

 

My point:

The smaller these 32nm circuits are that make up the processor's internal wiring, the less energy they has be be transmitted over the line. Leading to less dissipated heat, and lower energy consumption. If EVERY computer in the world was using 11nm technology (due out around 2015) RIGHT NOW, it would cut down on energy consumption in such a HUGE dramatic way. 30% reduction in our domestic energy usages instantly. plus reserves to be less reliant on foreign oil for our energy supplies.

 

But this isn't due to 2015... with commercialization taking affect after the discovery (according to moors law) in 2015 probably around 5-7 years later.

 

i cant wait.
