Didn't think this was a tech support based question, as it's more or less a simple discussion at what you all think of this new Hafnium 45NM chip. But if this really does belong in tech support, feel free to move.

So, to my techies out there, is it just me or is this new chip horrifyingly powerful? It looked like to me an Intel Core 2 Duo hyped up on speed with the capability of a HUGE amount of S-ram. Not to mention, there's the Hafnium, I don't know a lot about this element so do you think it'll prove positive or negative for computers all around?

It just seems like every couple of years, we move up so far in the computer technology that we wouldn't expect for a decade at least. I mean, it was shocking as hell to find out about the 1 gigaherz processors when the standard was a scant 382, and then they came out with Dual Core and just a couple years later Core 2 Duo.
