question is, do we need faster microprocessors, or is current speed
already enough? (for desktops). The corporate clients surely may be

Hi emu8086,

Are current CPUs fast enough? I personally believe, yes, however due to
inadequate education and popular myth/belief we (as a society) are
unable to make full use of the capacity that we have...

The new measurement that seems to be coming about is now
Performance/Watt which is being touted with multi-core propoganda... so
we may start to see more of that...


Nonsense :)
Give us more CPU power and more cores so that we can raytrace huge scenes in real time.
