Intel and others plan to release a new version of the ubiquitous Universal Serial Bus technology in the first half of 2008, a revamp the chip maker said will make data transfer rates more than 10 times as fast by adding fiber-optic links alongside the traditional copper wires. Intel is working with fellow USB 3.0 Promoters Group members Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Texas Instruments, NEC and NXP Semiconductors to release the USB 3.0 specification in the first half of 2008, said Pat Gelsinger, general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, in a speech here at the Intel Developer Forum.

I agree with you. We are seeing that the CPU speed/performance isn't increasing as before, and memory access is one of the BIG bottleneck. As I see the only way to increase performance in the future is:
1. Offloading the CPU(s)/main memory with more smart devices/specialized processors that offload the (main) CPU/Memory of routine work.
2. More efficient OS'es, that is from ground up build for multiple CPU(s)/multithreading...
