GOOD, it will force computer makers to look elsewhere for performance gains such as getting the rest of the computer up to speed ie.: HD speed/access, memory, bus, I/O and video.
Good point, but high CPU Mhz sell compters! But I'm not too worried about this, they'll probably come up with new materials that will help solve these kinds of problems. Nano technology is the next big thing with billions of dollars in research grants (mostly by the US government & military). As for HD speed, look forward to SerialATA as the next big thing in HD performance, 8X AGP is already out for video... What I think they really need to focus on is higher bandwidth networking solutions for the home consumer market. Cable modem is fast but I'd like to see T1 speeds (so I can set up a battlefield 1942 server with up to 64 players! ;-) )
