me thinks it's time to start making fused CPU/RAM monster chips. Monster CPURAM chips and PCIe SSDs! nothing else makes sense! then make it smaller - use crystals for a 3D process! START USING BLOOD TO COOL IT AND FEED IT. CALL IT MITTENS. ehm.. got carried a way there.
the days of an Octacore sitting at the helm of 128GB of RAM on a single die are soon upon us, me brethren/ettes.
for the daily joe, all of this doesn't mean much really. if anything, there's some serious improvements coming to our backbone infrastructure and laptop industries. considering improvement in lithium, this might kill off the desktop entirely, if done right.
