~Hi:

What is the maximum physically-possible clock rate [measured in Hz] of
a 1-bit-per-cycle, single-core, purely-serial processor?


Thank a bunch,

Green Xenon

Team Italy overclocked a P4 to 8GHZ.

I think you are in the wrong group for a useful answer. Might try sci.physics,
but I suspect they will want a better defined question.

Is that group more into doing kids' homework for them? ;-)

Silicon Germanium supports some prodigious clock frequencies. Integrated on a
BiCMOS process to support IO, ~20ghz core toggle frequencies ought to be
achievable without totally breaking the proverbial bank.

Don't know how much actual "work" could get done with a "purely-serial
processor" (heck - 37 years in the platform bidness and I don't know WTF that
might actually mean ;-) but if all that's interesting is the wiggle speed,
there you go...

speed of electrons
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasc...9/phy99092.htm

So according to the above, electrons are only travelling at the
mindblowing speed of 0.024 cm/sec in a copper wire!
