Expert Predict a Computer's physical limit!?

     "Computer's processing capability will soon comes to a limit" says the Experts. "No way, what do you know about science?" one scientist reply. To be continue....... (Just a make up story)

      As the story represents, expert once predict that the processing capability of a silicon chip will come to an end but the recent scientific research found out a way to completely change the way we once built CPUs. A complete new way to construct CPU chips.

Current CPU

      What is so special about the new way to make this CPU chips? Very well asked question, the answer that I can give is "I don't know" because I am not one of the researchers. But according to material researcher at IBM said that it isn't anything new or anything surprising at all because in the past we have had found out a way to change conductive state to a insulator and back. But what IS surprising is that after we changes the state is can be stable.

      One disadvantage is that the processor unit is extreme beast, draining the battery dry in a short time. Like our laptop while playing game, burning on top of our lap. Another disadvantage of the current CPU is it often have electricity leak causing it to heat up so much. Which mean they are very inefficient using electricity.

      So what is the advantage of the latest research? Imagine that in the future our CPU and memory cell will barely say "Hi" to the battery cell only camera, microphone, photo, and some other side component would use electricity. And the CPU wouldn't heat up that much at all.

"The Expert"

..... And another scientist said "U Mad Bro?".

Major Concepts.

  • The difference of the past technology and currents
  • Experts have said it will come to a limit soon
  • IBM have overcome experts

Potential Strengths/Advantages.

  • Detailly describe the idea what the research gets us to

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages.

  • What evdience does the expert have to say it will come to a limit soon? It did not describe. 

Discussion Questions.

  • When will this technology publicly used?
  • How much faster if this technology is widely used?
  • What will it cost to make such chip?
