Dude, you realize I was kidding about trends in overall CPU performance, right? Hence the "funny" moderation. I don't think anyone here seriously thinks we're approaching Bremermann's Limit and things just can't get faster.
Perhaps it "whooshed" you?
behind the curtain, they're secretly executing chains of RISC instructions with private, semi-asynchronous clocks as fast as they can & just presenting the public facade of a CISC architecture responding to a system-wide clock...
I like your description though...I always suspected there was something unwholesome and conspiratorial about CISC processing.
