Hello, first time poster here. I was just wondering where all the gigahertz went. I remember when the biggest number meant the most processing speed -- and maybe that's still true -- but why did the numbers jump from around like 3.8 to the 2.2 vicinity? I think it's something about new architectures, but I can't find much to explain it. I saw this one good-looking site (A CPU History by David Risley), but it seemed kind of old, and I didn't want to read through 11 pages to find out it didn't address what I really wanted to know. So if anyone has an answer or a couple links to some good sites or articles, I'd appreciate it big.
Thanks a mill,
nomad
