My first thought is that they should increase the number of cores in a CPU as much as possible. Having a single CPU with hundreds of cores would be really useful. Of course, they also have to make advances on cooling technology. The types of applications that I have in mind are rendering, AI, and gaming.
The types of games that would benefit greatly from such CPU are the ones that make heavy use of a Physics Engine.
- m0zg 8y ago>> single CPU with hundreds of cores would be really useful Not with the current memory bus. If your algorithm is written properly it's very likely already memory bound. Adding more cores is only going to worsen the performance in that case.
- JohnFen 8y agoI actually think along similar lines but at a higher level of abstraction. I think we'll have to start moving towards multiple complete computer systems, each with their own internal busses, memory, etc., that operate as a unified whole. A bit like massively parallel systems do.
- jotm 8y agoWell hello there! I've been running 2 computers this way for years. Works very well for some stuff that supports multiple nodes, but unfortunately useless for most software. By far, the 1GbE link is the most limiting factor. Almost 15 years and we still don't have 10GbE as standard.
- ianai 8y agoAt that point I’d expect more like a shared bus with speeds similar to ram and large motherboards. But I don’t know how feasible that is.
- shaklee3 8y agoWhat does this mean? Why can't you use 10GbE?
