It's shocking to think that Moore's law could one day go the way of the dinosaurs. Even more shocking still is to hear a number of experts declare that CPUs are quickly approaching a power "wall" where to make the CPU any faster would mean a melting of the very substance that the transistors rest on. It doesn't take a genius to know that a melted chip isn't going to allow you to finish your video edit in record time.
