Problem
The whole multi-core debate got me thinking. It's much easier to produce two cores (in one package) then speeding up one core by a factor of two. Why exactly is this?

Low Risk
Each time the clock ticks you're charging or discharging a bunch of capacitors. The energy for charging a capacitor is: Where is the capacitance and is the voltage to which it was charged. If your frequency is , then you have cycles per second, and …
