Breaking the Barrier

gamerxavier · Dec 21, 2013

manage reaching 6Ghz or say even 12Ghz cpu clocks? I had a friend, well my sisters bf who tried to go on about how current cpu could reach 30Ghz if done right lmao. I find it humorous, but it does get me wondering when we really will reach those clocks. I mean at any given time someone could "break" the barrier that has effectively lead us into the multi-core era back in what 2002?

What do you think would happen if the current "barrier" was broken?
heh Gaming for sure would be a whole new world,

Sad note though, with the current direction of adding a gpu into the cpu would probably really make it even more improbable to break this barrier. But, then again if this barrier is broken for cpu would that not also affect such for gpu(s)?

Unless he was talking using super cooling like liquid hydrogen directly on the CPU (seen it done once), or he is talking a super computer (like the Super Collider) he is full of BS. He obviously never heard of Moore's Law. When you increase the frequency of the CPU your forcing more power over the chips to increase the speed, but (basic science) any increase of electrical current increases the heat and 'frequency' the metal resonates. You hit a point on the curve bar where A) the system literally MELTS DOWN B) your creating such frequency between the 'lines' (the individual connecting silicon lines you see when under a microscope) that data (pulses of 1 or 0 bit) becomes garbled/distorted and processing comes to a halt as all you have is bad 'bits' flowing, thus no work performed and crashing.

While I seen ONE computer actually brought up to 6, might even been 8GHz, as I said they were using Liquid Gas to cool it before even with that helping to stabilize thing still came to a point of the frequency would cause too much resonation between the data lines (might be a better way to describe it but I need another cup of coffee to come up with it).

As for 30GHz if done right, I would tell him; GREAT lets write down the correct solution, then make a copy to keep in hand. Mail the first one to yourself in a sealed envelope (poor man's copyright method). Then Go to AMD and Intel and show them how they could possibly be wrong with all their PHD qualified BILLION Dollar R&D labs working 7 x 365 and never came up with that solution. I am sure they would LOVE to buy it from you all for a few simple Million. That is how the Shoe Eyelet, Light Bulb, Wright Brothers, even PLASTIC came to fruition, someone with a 'better mousetrap' (idea).

I know this stuff, I was stating his thing merely to bring up what got me to wonder, what would happen if we Did effectively break the barriers and found a way to get past all of those known issues and reach large GHz numbers. I mean just ponder a moment the new level of computing that would open up. It's an amusing though to me. I'm sure somewhere out there in this world it's in someone's head.

I find some of those hard to believe, I usually only go off of the benchmark websites. Unlikely anyone utilized those numbers without crashing or something.

I can get to 30ghz. It will just catch fire in half a second.
