AT&T did a documentary on the (then) present and future of computers, narrated by William Shatner. It's similar to the videos in TFA. Youtube link goes here.
...without efficient static memory, mostly because of the CPU-Memory gap. A faster CPU would require the memory and the bus to keep up at a similar frequency. That's already a problem, and even if that were possible then it would lead to increased power consumption using dynamic RAM and frankly, I think that's the last thing we need.
So faster CPUs will only be a viable alternative when we manage to get something like those memristors they keep talking about. Until then, it's larger caches and higher-frequency DRAM.
Your argument would hold if DirectX were portable. I don't really see it running natively anywhere except Windows and Xbox.
I really don't understand some people's aversion towards assembly language. Yes, sure, we all want a user-friendly programming environment, but not when it comes to squeezing all we can out of the hardware. My two cents.

Isn't that called advertising?
I hope this won't be the case. Sounds like a real nightmare to me.
(If anyone is wondering why, Tanenbaum dixit: "NAT violates the most fundamental rule of protocol layering: layer k may not make any assumptions about what layer k + 1 has put into the payload [...]", and that's only the tip of the iceberg)
... it just smells funny.
Seriously now, what?
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
