IBM has found a way to double its processor speed by squeezing silicon as opposed to making transistors smaller. Even if Moore's Law does not continue to hold, although experts think it will for the next couple of decades, it seems that computers will continue to get faster and cheaper. Massive computing power, inexpensively priced, has the potential to transform the dynamics of entire industries. Consider what Google is doing with its data centers and you get an idea of the scale and power of cheap CPU cycles.
