Have most of you out there ever wondered why processor speeds are going up in large increments and prices are falling at an incredible pace? Wasn’t it just a few years ago that fastest CPU out there was the Intel Pentium 233MMX? Now you can buy the Intel P4 2 Ghz with speeds later this year reaching 2.5Ghz + . Ever wonder why? I know I have.
I think I may have found an answer, a link to why processor speeds are going up and prices are going down. The future is coming, and for you super geeks out there, it might be here sooner than you think. I can use one word, “qubit “.
For those of you who are familiar with the term qubit, you can’t wait. For others who are thinking “ what is he talking about? “, I’ll let you in on a little secret.
Quantum Computers. I heard that and thought to my self “ya right” that will never happen, at least not in my life time. But according to an article by R. Colin Johnson, the NSF (National Science Foundation ) is already searching for a reliable chip-making process.
