From today's WSJ re the Semiconductor Industry Association's technology report: "By 2012, the SIA's experts concluded, manufacturers should be able to put 1.4 billion transistors on a thumbnail-size microprocessor, which will operate at a speed of 2,700 megahertz. Memory chips will hold as much as 275 billion bits of data. By contrast, Intel's current Pentium II microprocessors have 7.5 million transistors and run at 300 megahertz, while the most popular memory chips only store about 16 million bits of data."
