1. Sorry if this is a bit off topic but, has Hitachi ever made its own CPU?

Anyway, should be interesting when new stuff comes out from this venture.

And I am interested what IBM has in sock for its Rock processor.

Hitachi, didn't make a CPU, but actualy it makes processors for other devices of which Intel or AMD don't have any access. And those processors are much more advance than a CPU...

2. They are just looking to make smaller transistors which will one day reach the limit where the atom between each silicon around 2010 where there will be not be smaller transistors. The current leak between them will be too big. It is comming to an end to our current technology. They should focus on new technology rather then just beyond 32nm.

Agreed, we need to move on from silicon to different forms of building CPU's and quick. There has been a lot of development in Quantum Computing, but that needs to be quickened considerably is it wants to partially replace what we have now.

We can also move onto different materials in order to handle things better than silicon beyond 32nm.

We will reach that limit or how small we can make these things and I agree that we need to make some serious innovations if we are to advance in this world. (Or faster FPS :P)
