100 GHZ Processor — What the Hell?

Sorry bout the long link
So OK, i remember maybe bout 15 years ago, if you had a 100 Hz processor you had more bling than Mr T, 5 years later it went to about 1 GHZ & i was like WOW, then came HD, & i found you needed at least 3.2 GHZ processor just to compute the stuff, But now 100GHZ, seriously, what type of public use would that have, they say it has has much power as a cats Brain, Great if i don’t let my PC out just before i go to sleep it’ll Pee & defacate on my brand new rug, if i don’t stroke him like he likes it he’ll dig his claws into me ruining all my clothes, & if i don’t watch him, he’ll end up matey witht trhe neighbours Apple Mac from across the street, who knows where it’s been
But really what use would it have, also 3TB internal hardrives by the end of the year (Nice) Now i know where all the porn on the internet is kept

Bleeding edge stuff still. The issue with current CPUs is that above a certain speed, it takes too long for the electrons to travel from point A to point B. To run faster, a CPU has to be within a very short distance from all it’s cache and interfaces. Remember that electricity (electrons) travel at near the speed of light, and to pump data very fast, it cannot take “too long”. Basic technology today is limited by current CPU chip making techniques and the speed of light. We can only hope to improve on the first, the second is fixed.
Once they can design CPUs in single atom thickness (how the heck do you solder a wire to that???), then we may see speeds go up….
Agreed. Quantum computers are the way to go.
