   [quote] 100 cores, yeah right...[/quote]Makes a lot of graphs in taskman...What is he trying to say, that they will reach it with 100 50MHz cores?Oh, read the site, they want to make 100-core CPUs at 5GHz each... Yes, powerful, but computers will need to have a 50A 240V breaker with a compressor or two in the case to A/C the CPU.

   It is realistic. I mean, look! The internet was nothing 10 years ago and we were running on Windows 95. Or was that after? In any case, a lot can happen! But i think by the time it gets to 100 cores, they'll create a whole new desgin that doesn't use 'cores' as such if you know waht i mean.

   By the time it gets that far, It wouldn't be suprising to me at least to see the CPU (DC or otherwise) be replaced by a hardware equivelent to a proccessing cluster - we'd be looking at some pretty serious BOINC stats!!!

   Did i hear "30 nm"....wow....i am no expert, but wow. i guess that's "only" 15 nanmoteres smaller...yeah there was some sarcasim in there. Gosh, that is amazingly small. considering the average human blood cell is 4,000-6,000 nm...i think those were the numbers anyway. Gosh, must say that i am impressed.
