Re: Scientists build a 3D computer chip that fuses logic and memory
Hmm, interesting...ever since stacked RAM I have been wondering when the first stacked CPU would come to fruition.....

The prototype combines 2 million carbon nanotube field-effect transistors and over 1 million....comparable to a Pentium 1 @ 166mhz?
Re: Scientists build a 3D computer chip that fuses logic and memory
So this is memputer as described or instancec by Scientific American last year?

A sily comparison. Remember this is just an early prototype, a proof of concept.

If you go purely by transistor numbers, which is like going back to comparing purely by megahertz.
There also is the bottleneck also arising from the physical separation.

This too.
