Ask HN: What'd be possible with 1000x faster CPUs?

Imagine if we had an unlikely scientific breakthrough and many orders of magnitude faster general-purpose CPUs, probably alongside petabyte-scale RAM modules and appropriately fast memory bus, become widely available. Besides making bloatware on a previously unimaginable scale possible, what other interesting, maybe revolutionary, impossible today or at least impractical, applications would crop up then?
