Silicon speed tweaking, up to 20 times !
We know this is possible in practice, though to some extent (35%) with a layer of germanium above silicon, but lead sounds much ... faster.
Strained silicon. Now, imagine processors clocks of 40 - 60GHz. That would be a silicon Renaissance.
Actually, 60 Ghz wireless technology is already with us. Connect 30 Ghz processors using 60 Ghz wireless band tehnology. Copy?
OR, End of processor golden age predicted
