sciencenews.org — Using quantum physics, rather than using data kept in a classical computer, the new device demonstrates a technique that could enable physicists to create, in the virtual world, materials that don't yet exist in nature.

moore's law is defined in terms of numbers of transistors, and that's it. it's not about processor core frequency.

Yes it has and no it has nothing to do with operating frequency. And yes doubling the number of processors does equal doubling the computing power.You screwed that up hard, really.Manufacturing process improvements maintain the same consistent transistor count per core growth. Increasing the number of cores only further depreciates computing cost. Price per GFLOP has been dropping unprecedentedly fast the last few years.

i didn't read a single word you said..........because if you blab that much commenting on a comment, you need to pull your head, and stick out of your assp.s. have fun a bit, lay off the masterpiece theatre, and other things boring

Hey, I read Neuromancer.I also thought it sucked, so you know, personal taste and all. The Matrix is mainstream and loved by almost all (at least the first one), Gibson's books are very very niche.

The current official version of Moore's law is that computing power doubles every two years:<a class="user" href="http://www.intel.com/technology/mooreslaw/index.htm">http://www.intel.com/technology/mooreslaw/index.ht ...</a>This is actually not a law in the scientific sense, but more like a self-fulfilling prophecy: it's what Intel has in the pipeline for the next several years, and what it promises to Wall Street investors and analysts.
