Intel recently published their intent to move to 2GHz processors - I assume
P4
limits are complex, currently perceived to be geometry/mask/optical issues
wavelength will come into play on the motherboard as lumped circuit issues
become more complex as frequencies rise above 2-4 GHz
perhaps microstrip and similar solutions may come into play although the
external circuits, I assume, will remain at lower frequencies than core
processor frequencies.

Subject: [PCBUILD] CPU frequency limit
Today we have up to 1.5GHz processors in our stores.
300,000000/15000000/4=0.05m (~2 inches)
is a quarter of wave length.
I didn't hear something about 2GHz CPU are expected.
Maybe it is a limit or I missed something?
What are your info, guys?
