So I was thinking, anyone have a picture of what technology and hardware will stand at this time next year? So far I have built a list of the obvious things, but also somethings to think about.
Nehalam from Intel - Octo-Core, Optional Inbuilt Graphics, Onboard Memory controller
DDR3 is likely to be mainstream
USB 3.0? - Optical
PCI-E 2.0 being heavily underway
Graphics processors being made 65nm and less
Also thought of how nVidia aims to have the G92 output 3 Teraflops. I don't know how plausible or practical that is but damn, what if it goes on to something like that or bigger? The 8800GT and a newer revision of the 8800GTS will be based on the same process as the G92 (Geforce 9800 or whatever it is
).
Sure, software would probably demand quite a bit more, but do you think hardware is moving a great deal faster now? We're going tobe getting great performance in our day to day computing, and more.
And a closed private Internet2. Sounds awesome, they transferred a third of a terabyte in less than five minutes. How long until that becomes the norm?
Discuss as you wish.
