I still need the reassurance of a familiar brand before it's a real story - Tony Maddox, CNN senior VP

I knew people who claimed "I don't need a gui!" because they were PC fanboys back when the Mac was the primary GUI based os on the market. (Atari and Amiga were there, but not as popular in the states anyway.) Comments such as I "need Windows XP/7" are typically made out of misplaced loyalty to a product. Apple had systems with high resolution 24bit color displays and CD quality sound TEN YEARS before it became practical on a PC. The Amiga had preemtive multitasking 10 years before the PC. Microsoft has done nothing for the computer industry other than slow down progress. There were people who thought this whole "home computing thing" was a fad, and that mainframes were going to remain dominant. The era of the "PC" as we know it is going to pass, it may still have a place in the office, but then so do mainframes.
"i need Windows XP/7 compatible processor and OS"
You need? You fail, more like!

That's it.
We'll see if at 22nm the power will drop, history has shown that smaller processes jometines just lead to more leakage. Fingers crossed.
Don't really know if they are going to be able to get smaller than 10nm... but i know that IBM has been working for a while in making processors out of a different material, like graphene, and it seems it's going quite well actually... So maybe by improving materials we may see the process advancing...
Anyone know the operating voltage range for this 28nm reference?
How much longer can this keep happening?? Are they going to make sub 10nm chips. If so how?? If not then what technology will we be switching to next?? I can't bear to think that systems could stall out at the same speed for a long time 'til they discover new physics.
I don't think Intel has been expecting SoC to do very much at either the 45nm or 32nm nodes. From the literature, they've been targeting SoCs to hit the streets at 22nm, which I think is expected in 2011.
22nm is a whole new ball game. At 22nm, SoCs will be much smaller and also consume much less power than they would at 32nm & 45nm. Not until these are available will we really see how competitive Intel's SoCs can be and whether or not ARM has a better solution. 22nm products ought to stir up a lot of excitement in the market.
