One interesting thing: intel has been working for years on light communications between chips. Why is HP launching this first and not intel ?

- tmikaeld 12y agoMy guess is that Intel will actually reach usability first by going the traditional route and have it "compatible" with current operating systems. This way they will be first to market with a directly usable platform, while in the meantime work on a new OS or fork one of their existing platforms (Like Tizen) and adapt it for this new tech. Though this will depend on a compatible Linux kernel and i see this as the part taking the longest time!
- nl 12y agoI'd expect "The Machine" to ship as a specialised coprocessor machine first. There are users right now who'd pay $^7 for in-memory like performance over datasets too big for traditional memory (eg graph processing). That will avoid the problem of low yield with the new technology which can be a problem for consumer products where a higher volume is needed.
