Well, judging my the course of technological expansion over the past few
years, we should start seeing 128-bit computers around 2016, and commonly
around 2024.

That isn't too far away you know. 2016 is only 5 years from now, and 2014 is
only 13. It's almost 2011, the year of the touchscreen and touchpad. let's
see what will go on.

The CHINESE market, India, Brazil, etc will determine what develops,
because they are the expanding market of the future.. like by 2012. And
judging by the way that the Chinese do their OWN companies to overmatch
the American companies -- with blow away pricing and maybe questionable
quality

I agree, but at the same time I suggest doing this:
The Apple A4 chip should be standardized for all mobile platforms (except
laptops), while Apple should go back to the PowerPC, but have a different
name and a new generation, like the PowerPC G5 v2, or the PowerPC G6, or the
Core G6... I love
When Apple decided to leave the PPC platform I was hurt but I fully
understand why they did it.
As a fan of the IBM Power platform, the G5 was a small power 4/power5
machine that did not run AIX and Apple was a small part of the IBM order
that they could not significantly influence the

I understand keeping production of faster and faster processors could be
tough, but look at IBM today! The world's first processor running at 4.6Ghz
without being overclocked! And it has 32-cores.

I really do find intel useful, but not the best. PowerPC was and always will
be the best. If Apple continues a different line of chips, they might name
it PowerPC G6 even if the processor architecture is completely different.
Going away from intel means that Apple will increase the chances of the
