Wow. These boffins can't half do some impressive things, but can it run Crysis?
Probably 3 separate versions of Crysis all running at 4k on max settings while rendering 5 8k videos and making you coffee.Quote:

Perhaps if the CPUs are all very low power then you could stack a lot of them, but then you can only run your three versions of Crysis at lowest settings.
But can it do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?Quote:

The chip you see is arnies which is model 101 not t-1000Quote:

as for heat concerns, its quiet ok if they stack the cpu on the memory - memory is not heating that much so it should be acceptable.
yet there is another question, does rram will survive cpu heat?
We have 3d memory in production already. doing that for cpu was obvious, knowing how it works for memory. i am just supprised it is not from intell nor ibm. are they slacking off with R&D?
lol, OK let me put it another way.Quote:

So "Supercomputer in your hand, apart from that big radiator, coolant pump and reservoir it has to be plumbed into" I can accept, but it isn't a useful step forward.
You hear of research in this sort of stuff that gets you eg a stacked CPU, flash, ram and radio circuit so you can make a really small mobile device. I suppose that doesn't grab the headlines (or clicks) and get you future funding though.
I'm sure Cambridge university had done this over a year ago..
