The technique is becoming possible only now, thanks to more powerful microprocessors.

This week it introduced a line of computer work stations based on a more powerful microprocessor.

Building more powerful microprocessors requires an intense and expensive production process.

Consider a future world in which robots operate with microprocessors a million times more powerful than today's.

One potential approach is to push for more powerful microprocessors.

Some computational problems take years to solve even with the benefit of a more powerful microprocessor.

That means faster, more powerful microprocessors will be needed before such a system is economically feasible.

Microcomputers became popular in the 1970s and 80s with the advent of increasingly powerful microprocessors.

A new, more powerful microprocessor will do better than an older, less capable one.

More powerful microprocessors can aid in everything from weather prediction to cosmological studies.
