That picture it shows. Is that the processor that USB plug. That would be really cook. Or even a very great invention. You could just buy and extra processor that just is able to pluc right into your USB. Or somewhere in your computer. It would make it so much easier and cheaper to make your computer a lot faster.

Unfortunately the bulk of it would probably not be feasibly supported by a USB port. A processor this size will require cooling, and a good amount of it.

true it would need cooling but if they did make it that way then its totally feasible that its allot like a external drive. where you have a external cooling system and everything.
what makes it not feasible though is that the transfer rate would be shot, even on a USB 3.0 slot

Very true. I never thought of that. I was just getting excited looking at it. LOL> But yes You are very right. I have hooked a second internal to my machine. It is all stock. So just to makes sure. Not that It really matters. I have a little like 4 or six inch fan. Blowing in the holes on the side of my tower. LOL. It is one of those little tiny stand up fans. But i do notice it does keep my tower pretty cool. it actually feel cool to the touch not warm.

Goodness knows how much this will cost, but it will be amazing when it is released.

I don't think the 'cores' of this Cpu can be compared to a typical modern Cpu. It 'seems' as though they just sectioned off many many parts of the Cpu's transistors, capped them and basically made them into their own unit, aka core. I'm not sure though.

Maybe I don't understand it fully, but I'm not sure it would technically have any more pure compute power than the exact same Cpu, not partitioned off in the same way. The memory dedicated to each core sounds like the best part of it, and I guess the purpose behind the idea..

The day this becomes consumer grade, it'll be a giant revolution. :)

In all honesty, yes it's cool.... but WHY?!? Even NOW with our dual/quad/hex processors, only a few programs can actually support using all the cores, (I think Photoshop has multi-thread support?). So... yea, and programming an API for that will be.... shite. xD

I sure wouldn't use that....

But we'll have to wait from the rest of the PC components to catch up to the processor. That' will take a few years...

YAY! We can finally play Crysis.

Probably. I'm sure the video card will be the bottleneck

mabye they will give first gallon of liquid hydrogen free : D haha......
