From an article I was reading recently:
In a recent paper, available at http://public.lanl.gov/feng/Bladed-Beowulf.pdf online, Feng predicts, based on Moore's law, that the drive for increased performance will result in "the microprocessor of 2010 having over one billion transistors and dissipating over one kilowatt of thermal energy; this is considerably more energy per square centimeter than even a nuclear reactor."
--------
Imagine if we had to dissipate that much heat from our flashlights? Pretty bright though...
