30% improvement is good and everything, but I was really hoping for a real leap in CPU speed. I think they should take a step back to take a step forward. Perhaps change the whole architecture of processing. What about taking larger commonly used instructions and letting the cpu do it in hardware. like instead of 1453+ pop and add instructions, just have a single "high level" instruction to do something at hardware level. Similar to graphics hardware. Or if this is stupid, what about other CPU approaches other than that of the current approach?
