looks good... can I smell checkerboard processors and memory ? I think I can... and its sweet :)

    yea, nice of them to go public with this...
    I mean seriously, who here actually believes it took them more then 10 years to think of this?

    *sigh*

    Waitaminute... you're telling me that an idea this basic, this utterly simple no-brainer, is only just [i]now[/i] being thought of?? Surely, this extremely simple idea couldn't have been missed by so many for so long....

    Its called marketing...

    was prolly thought of 10 years ago, but they decided to wait, making as much money as possible with the reguler chips, and then release it later so it seems like some technological breakthrough so they can charge three times as much for it.

    Sometimes, the simplest solutions are not the first concieved.

    we as a race went without the saftey pin for thousands of years... we had wire, we had things that needed strapping and binding... but nobody worked it out...

    there are STILL things out there so mind numblingly simple your brain bursts when you discover them...

    anyways... expanding on this particular little idea...

    imagine if they decided to jump off the two diemensional plane... have chips set up in facetted cylinders and so forth... so you could run coolant right up against the chip (within reason...)

    torridal chips... little pyramids... which gives you a natural hierachy of chips... the zenith of the stack of chips being the master CPU... followed down the stack by the SPUs...

    basically think of any polygonal shape and you could prolly build a chip to match it... of course you'd have to work out which would actually make sense in a computational and organisational sense...
