This is a general tech question.

Just how fast are microprocessor speeds going to go?

It seems Intel is removing at a rapid pace.

You have Arrandale this year, Sandy Bridge after that, and Ivy Bridge soon to follow.

How low can we go in say the next 5 or 10 years? Will there be single number nanometer speeds?

Curious on thoughts.
 
Electronic computing will reach a plateau at some point. When we start going quantum we'll really start to see the good stuff 🙂
