Do we have to obey Moore's law?

Thanks for the reference Mariuz. Centaur Technology have promised to send me a sample of the Nano 3000 series, when it's available. I will test it when I receive it.

I don't expect the execution unit of the Nano 3000 series to be much faster than the 2000 series, because it is already quite well optimized, but memory access and branch prediction may possibly be improved.

Applications that can use the SSE4 instruction set, such as complicated text search, will of course benefit more.
