With all the 1000x time speedups that IBM releases I'm amazed that we have to wait for computers at all, no matter what the task.
I really wished that these announcements would be at least accompanied by working prototypes showing the main claims in a realistic setting.
Since these are all things that may (or may not) be realized in the distant future when those reading the article will have long forgotten about it or will be safely deceased I suspect they are more of a marketing ploy than a true announcement of a breakthrough.
- breadbox 15y agoGenerally I agree. This one caught my eye because it addresses such a basic problem that it seems more realistic to expect this one to actually make it from theory to practice.
- 0x12 15y agoYes, but the actual release states that they plan to jointly develop this (3M and IBM), not that they even have this adhesive, let alone the tech to stack the chips and do the interconnects. Really, this is an announcement of the development of vapourware, it doesn't come much more tenous than that. IBM seems to be pretty desperate for the spotlight lately.
