I was talking to some professor who used to work for intel developing the pentium II and the Itanium, and he was talking about how CPUs, in order to develop drastically, need a better way to be cooled than conventional air. They will just be getting too hot. But we all know this, I'm just reiterating the point. He said that watercooling is the most viable option, and once it is mainstream, they would be able go faster. It's only a matter of time before dell will be selling a cheap watercooled PC
I've always had the opposite view. I always thought processors are always undoing die shrinks where components and transistors are becoming smaller and smaller. I think the wave of the future would be the one Via is taking.

I think processors should be running cooler and cooler in the future.
