Abstract

Within 10years, it will be possible to integrate 10B transistors on a single chip microprocessor which wilt operate far beyond GHZ, and it will execute about 20-200 instructions per clock cycle from widely variable instruction streams leveraging SMT(Simultaneous Multithreading) technology . Also it will decouple the current legacy X86 binary compatibility by translation layer such as code morphing technology.
