Please note : In the context of fast - I mean how much speed in , for instance, Ghz a CPU can operate at, not how fast we can build one fromthe planning stage.
In the design of CPUs whether they are made by Intel, AMD, or whoever ( e.g. Motorola ), have we gone past the limit of how far the materials that we use to build CPUs can withstand the output of heat, if we need to invest in CPU cooling systems to add on?
Argument :
The need to build faster CPUs is a good idea, but the materials and means that we use to build them have their limits. For instance, in the metal connections that are so small, inside a CPU that can not be seen which are infused into the CPU's plastic moulding which can overheat. If a channel of metal which is this small can overheat because we are driving past the limit of how many times an electron can travel in the small channel, then we need to invent a better material to handle faster speeds.
For instance, we could invest in the idea of a photon based CPU which uses light to emit the same binary signal through fiber optic channels to devices on the motherboard, but would have the bottle neck proble of converting light back to a electron based signal. On the issue of heating, I dont think , photons dont emit that much heat in single fiber optic strands compared to electrons that traverse the microscopic electrical channels in current CPU designs. I do not know if anyone has tried to make a CPU that uses photons. However, if anyone has developed a photon CPU, the next problem is - can it be feasible for developing a CPU for a common PC ? This issue comes into question because of the size and space required to invent a photon CPU that works in the same way that we have designed electron based CPUs. We have reduced computers to such small sizes in our evolution of technology, but a photon CPU may be a problem because of the bottle neck problem.
A photon CPU also opens the door for developing a programming language that uses fuzzy logic, which uses values between 0 and 1 assigned to color recognition.
So I am back to the idea that maybe we have gone past the limit of how far the materials that we use to build CPUs can withstand the output of heat.
