Question

– What is limiting computer processors to operate beyond the current range of clock frequencies (from 3 to up 5GHz)?

In: Engineering

Answer 1

Physical barriers such as heat, impracticalities such as electric consumption and lack of need (on personal computers) due to bottlenecks (doesn’t matter if you’re too speedy if you’re going to spend most of the time waiting for RAM or SSD)
