At this rate my next video card, or fusion CPU/GPU, is going to have 1 trillion transistors on it.“Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get outâ€

Actually, rumour has it, R700 and beyond will all be multi-gpu just like cpu's. This makes sense since powering the R600 is going to take a small nuke reactor.Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.Comment

The Fusions can have multiple GPU's on each CPU core. In practice most often it would be 2; one for graphics & one for GPGPU (code execution in the GPU).Dr. Mordrid

I can just imagine the size of future GPGPU's with muliple cores etc, and the amount of power required to drive them.
what I think they need to develop is cube based CPU's for multi dimensional processing hehe

Spintronics should fix the heat issue.
Instead of switching a stream of electrons spintronics switches the quantum spin polarization of individual electrons. One advantage over regular transistors is that spin states can be detected & altered without necessarily requiring the application of an electric current.
Right now it's being used in GMR HDD r/w heads and MRAM, but semiconductors (actually dilute magnetic semiconductors) shouldn't be too far out. Right now the focus is on manganese doped gallium nitride.Last edited by Dr Mordrid; 28 November 2006, 00:01.Dr. Mordrid
