Graphic Cards What does the future behold??

[Xenesis]

Ok . Intels 45 NM Penryn are out and they are whipping butts. From .13 microns to 45 NM we have come a long way. Now the question is where does the long path end?? Does the future behold 20 nm eight coreed proccy? I am asking too much. Well lets come to the Graphics section. 65 nm (nvidia) and 55 nm (Ati) are pretty much standard today. When they shrink to 20-30 nm can we dream of having quad core GPU. How about QX8800GTX or Q8800GT? or maybe QX108000GT?? It maybe near future guys. has Nostradamus predicted on Computer Peripherals too??:bleh:
Am i thinking too far?? I dont think so because i read an article in TOI where they say it has now become very difficult to shrink the transistor further.
Where do we go now? How do we go now? :|

3-D micro chip architecture. Speeds of more than 10Ghz. Research is on hyeah:

New 3D chip transistor may reach 50GHz | The Register

Big Blue crows over 3D chip advance | Science Blog

New transistor design may kick off race to 10GHz

Also there is concept of CELL Processing. PS3 uses Cell processor with 8 SPEs to power itself . For more see here: Cell (microprocessor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
