Yes but can it be overclocked??

This is what I'm looking to see, smaller and smaller they go and getting more thrift with power consumption. Cybernetics anyone?
Anyone that's read the Nightsdawn Trilogy from Peter Hamilton will know where I thinking. One PC in a pill please, to go thanks! :D:D:D

We've had neural net cards and CMM add-on boards for some time now. The neat thing about this is just the die shrink I guess - that and IBMs name carries a bit more weight than the Advanced Computer Architectures group at York uni.

But can it play watchdogs on 60 fps?

Reminds me of the film Dark Star, not seen that for ages.

Yeah but if it acts like a female brain it's about as useful as a chocolate tea pot ;)

So your saying that ideally this should be the first chip that fits inside a pair of boxers. ;-)

No news on how it performs at standard compute tasks though. It would be interesting to see what sort of sacrifices have been made to get the advancements that it has!
