 Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2009 4:39 am Post subject: CPU's of the future |
 |
|
ok.. I know science fiction is hardly the best indicator of future technology, but they have come up with ideas we now use ( satellites, wireless etc. )
So on that tenuous thread.. cpu's of the future.....
Stargate series- "cpus" appear to be a bunch of glass rods of different colours. Lame.
Is that what we have to look forward to?
I find current modern cpus plain and dull. Ya, they work great, but they lack the appeal of older cpus (pentium pro and older). |

I agree with that statement.. but early P4s & P4 xeons also have character.. well for me at least 
modern CPUs are like modern cars... if they didnt have a badge to say what they are... u would neva pick between them 
thinking about it P2s & slot P3s have a bold character...
not willing to hide under a heatsink  .. they stand tall & pronounce their presence

I agree, the early P4 and P4 Xeon's are cool looking and is where my collection stops at.
Although I am looking for to finding some funky looking quad core thermal samples  |

Yeah, modern cpus are rather bland. If only they'd use black print and a large logo! They should be easier to collect as they don't have much gold in them so the scrappers won't get them all.

No big surprises there for the next ten years.
Then they might become opto-electronically
one day with "micro toslinks" for the >100Gbits
per channel (and there will be a lot).
Maybe bit thicker packages with a well known
metal cap and the newest intel-logo.
Then thirty or fourty years later the first
quantum processors might become usable
at home in mini- or amazingly non-cryogenic devices.
I bet the first of them have quite big packages,
still the intel-logo somewhere....
That time all password proteceted systems
should be able to prevent brute-forcing
or one of that beasts will brute the valid
pass (that used a 131072-bit key) within seconds!

131072bit key = number
with 4 in the beginning and approx.
40000 decimal places....

| In the future, collectors won't have the chance to collect a CPU because it will recycle it's self |

| No, collectors will only be able to collect the organic-neural CPU shells, as entomologists gather husks of dead insects |

Hey, maybe... who knows. Maybe one day your PC will 'die' for real.  |

Thats what I was thinking, is that they will be some kind of organic living cells that are able to regenerate themselves, You throw a little extra voltage to it and burn a few cells out.... no problem it will regenerate them so its all back to normal.

Help, I overclocked my Hexion CPU and now my PC is drunk! It will not shut down and always shows "What shall we do with a drunken mobo" on Youtube.
It saved electricity for at least four more hours in its ElStoreUnit (organic USV) and that beast bites when i try to disconnect it!
Be aware all: never try to overclock a hexion CPU with full fat milk!

From my point of perspective it looks like nVidia and ATi/AMD might become the next-level competitors to Intel. GPUs nowadays feature massively-parrallel processing with astonishingly high computing power. I think it'll only become a matter of time until "business logic" is moved to GPUs as well and/or GPU ogic is moved onto the mainboard for general-purpose processing. However there's still one thing missing in this train o fthoughts: There's still some kind of high-level programming language & compiler support missing to make full use of really many cores in parallel; maybe this is due to the fact that human beings (who create code) tend to concentrate rather than to thing in parallel.

Yup, look at how fast the Nvidia Tegra is being adopted. |
