    Don't forget power savings! Twice as fast can in many cases be reinterpreted as half the power. Our computers use a lot more power than they need to accomplish the tasks we use them for. On the scale of billions of users, and datacenters, this is a severely underappreciated issue. An extra few million to R&D could save you billions down the line.
