Why more processing power is bad ?

Intel and IBM recently announced breakthroughs in integrated chip design recently and thereby increasing the processing powers to several folds. These breakthroughs in chip design is good news for gamers and graphic lovers but no good news for security folks. With most of the widely used cryptography algorithms being dependant on the class of NP complex problems, more processing power would definitely put the strength of these algorithms at risk. The current processing powers might not help you break RSA but with the current rate of innovations and advances in chip design, RSA would be more vulnerable in the years to come. I hope the security community is concerned about the chip industry and tries to provide appropriate solutions before it is not too late.
