Long story short I'm writing a research paper on how silicon-based integrated circuits will max out its potential by 2020 (Common CPU's will not get any more powerful afterwards)
I need some data on how far behind the latest CPU's people actually are.
Thanks to everyone who participated, I think I passed the module :(party):
I thought I am the only one with Pentium, but here the story is totally opposite, lol.
Pentium Rocks!
Best players with Pentium ;)
Potato power dominates!
Oops, I voted for AMD Athlon but I got an AMD Phenom. Why isn't that on the list ?
Anyways just to clarify, remove 1 vote from Athlon and add it to Phenom xd
//EDIT: Done
intel i5 3550 3.7 GHZ
Intel the best
Umm, I have a core 2 duo on my PC.. didn't find a box to put my tdick in.
Intel Core i5-4670 Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ 6 MB Cache
Core 2 duo forever
believe me from now i5.
Also, what's your rationale for your hypothesis? The predictions about the death of Moore's law are age-old, but none of them have yet become true. It is hard to believe that in 2020 we reach to a point of saturation in which further developments lack to come about; most predictions so far have been about the slowing down of the doubling process, but the rationale has mostly been economic, and not technical. You, however, seem to hypothesise a physical point of saturation of no further improvements?

Which of these is the worst one? That one is probably mine
Core 2 duo goes under Pentium so go on and put your tQuote:

I'm basing my hypothesis on the fact that silicon-based semiconductors become unstable under 5nm and as the main goal is to fit on a single chip as many transistors as humanly possible they would require more and more electrical current to use theses CPU's to their maximum potential. More electrical current generates more heat what would evidently just melt the whole silicon structure from the get-go where cooling is out of the question. Recently Intel came out with a new 3D transistor technology but in the long ran, actually not that long of a run they will still run into physical limitations of silicon. If you want to pick a good argument this won't be a good place for it. I have no real interest in this research i've put in only enough to pass the module.Quote:

Even if the predictions are being overrun, fisically there's a limit, as Fonera said, where the electrons fail to follow the 'paths' meant to be becouse the thickness of the silicion is too low. So the limit does exist, But we're all forgeting the fact every some years a new CPU socket is being created, to get a workarround those limits. Eventually we'll just get a CPU wich will be rather a square than a slim tablet :lol: (or quantum phyisics will kick in before, who knows)Quote:

Khem khem
Not a true Quantum Computer but close enough tho wont see it on your desktop anytime soon

Optical computing - Something you might see on your desktop powered by your household power supply pretty soon

i'D RECOMMEND THE CORE I7
i5 master race
Actually optical might be the best option, since it is the easiest and most understandable method to achieve quantum computing, no wonder most people use light reflection as an example to explain how quantum computing works :bQuote:

Cant see AMD Phenom II
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor
Have same as nico but my is Black editon >.> <.< ^.^ v.v
