    Chaos-based processors may be solution to Moore's Law hurdles

    Non-linear, chaos-based ICs can perform multiple functions with fewer transistors.

    Just wondering if this means the circuit could reconfigure it's self.. eg the grounds for a true neural net in hardware

    The first PC built around one of these chips will, within minutes of being turned on, become shelf aware, question its relationship with humanity and promptly open a portal to the Abyss and raving hordes of demons will over-run Shepton Mallet, (closely followed by the rest of the world)

    lol.... typo, needless to say I missed that... hehehe

    Actually, Shelf aware fits better with the tone of my daft comment.... erm, i'll now pretend it was deliberate!

    Re: Chaos-based processors may be solution to Moore's Law hurdles

    I read this article and came to the conclusion that I should give up computers and do something else - it just reads like one of those "machine poems". I mean, "Utilising chaos theory, via nonlinear transistor circuits, allows dynamics-level behaviours to initiate different processing tasks using the same circuit." just washed over me like a Donald Trump press conference, (but without the annoyance factor).

    Sigh - it must be old age finally caught up on me.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    Re: Chaos-based processors may be solution to Moore's Law hurdles

    I must admit, it meant next to nothing to me... except the bit where (to paraphrase) they say current designs waste processing opportunities and these chips will be more efficient and powerful... that kind of plain english statement i can cope with

    And when advertised on TV, instead of the Intel jingle would be a frustrated scream?
