One of the Wright brothers, after suffering a disappointing failure .. said mankind was 1000 years away from achieving heavier than air flight. Of course he proved himself wrong pretty quickly by simply not giving up. http://www.first-to-fly.com/History/Wright%20Story/thousand.htm

I think it's because multiple cores are just better. With two cores, you can run two operations at the exact same time. With well threaded code, that's like doubling the clock speed.]]>Mar 22nd 2009 1:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/Mar 22nd 2009 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/
In all seriousness, if industrial diamond is so much better and just as cheap, why on earth hasn't one of the manufacturers switched (pun!) to it? ]]>Mar 22nd 2009 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/Mar 22nd 2009 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/
Even if the increase in clock speed allowed 4X more operations per second, eventually somebody will point out that if we had a dual-core version of that, we'd have an 8X increase.

Redundant cores are only redundant because single-threaded code today isn't using them properly. We can't keep chasing faster and faster materials without ever needing to code multi-core - it's too expensive and it doesn't scale over time. Benchmarks on single and multi-core processors have shown that you can get real performance increases by writing well threaded code.

Of course, we should be looking at faster materials, too. It's just wrong to slate the current multi-core roadmaps as being intrinsically deficient - when it's used right, it can deliver real benefits.]]>Mar 22nd 2009 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/Mar 22nd 2009 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/

Allthough it will require a new way of programming, its gonna be great.
I wonder, im 20 right now, will i live to see all this future stuff, space-travel, quantum computing, fusion, meta-materials, a greener cleaner earth, a little more peace, a little more altruism, less racism, no religions.

If i dont, well too bad ey, i'll go out with a smile knowing and hoping the next generation will make the right choices.]]>Mar 22nd 2009 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/21/uk-researchers-take-us-one-step-closer-to-quantum-computing/
