A few years ago, Intel predicted we'd have 10GHz PCs by 2014. Not only is
that time now halved, they've also doubled the speed. Combined with IBM's
announcement of advances in "strained silicon", even the above prediction
may be conservative.
More and more I'm thinking of my own machine not as a 933MHz system, but as
a 0.9GHz one.
Oh well, at least it was free.
