Intel officials never stop confirming their faith in Moor’s law. As is known, blind faith inspires people to declare most brave and decisive things. ;) For example, this time this was Mr.Pat Gelsinger (now Chief Technology Officer in Intel, in 1980s he was a key developer of 80486 CPU that initially worked at 25MHz).

"I was proud of 25-MHz," Mr.Gelsinger said, "But now, we are adding 25MHz a week. One day, we will add 25MHz a day". Expressing these values in more common gigahertz, we can deduce that in a year or so Intel should have a 3.5GHz CPU (sounds pretty plausible), and once there will come the blessed moment when the frequency of Intel CPUs will grow by 9GHz per year. Not bad, isn’t it? ;)
