Hello all,
I'd like to know why aren’t cpus at a native speed of 4ghz yet?
I mean come on, since the P4 days, there hasn’t been any jaw dropping RAW native speed increases. Sure there’s multiple core's and drastically improved memory/bandwidth techniques used, but the way i see things panning out, I can understand why nvidia/ati want push past the cpu barrier and take on some of the rolls that of the cpu themselves.
A good example is with the gtx280 and the ati4870 where they're both heavily bottlenecked with today's highest native cpu speeds and is pretty much a requirement to o/c your cpu to the 4ghz region to see any decent improvement compared to the last couple generations of gpu's.
I hope amd's and inte'ls next cpu offerings will change all this, because as it stands now, its nearly a waste of money buying new graphic cards if the cpu just hasn’t got the balls to feed them.
