Metin,

But don't forget that this is not a linear increase in capability, but a factorial.
Think hockey stick - very gentle slope to vertical line very abruptly. 64 bit to 128 bit is right on that hockey stick joint curve.

>>The difference between 64-bit and 128-bit is far, far bigger than most people may realize. The garbage collection on a 128-bit processor will take most of it's power, that's one of the main reasons why the benefit is not going to make it worthwhile for a lot of years. Another thing is that the yield, meaning how many of the produced processors will actually work, also will be very low, meaning that the price will be astronomical.
