New tech hypothesis

[aerofanadam]

perhaps I'm not tech savvy enough to know the ins and outs but I've always wondered if ram could be made fast enough so that it could be inserted between processors. Let's Say you have one 3.0 clocked processor dividing original logic task between two or four 3.0 processors that do the actual math in sections then send it to a 5.0 processor for execution. Would Ram even be needed between or would current Ram configurations work? Would that speed logic processing or slow it? Would your BIOS be a mini OS at that stage? AND what is the limit to processor downsizing? will we eventually calculate on the atomic level (.1-.5nm)? I know they're trying it and hope to do so eventually. Hell compared to where we were ten years ago, 45nm is DAMN close to atomic level processing.

yes, but discussion of strange ideas can lead to innovation. some weird idea may spark a creative burst in the mind of a brilliant techie and the all of a sudden, some new tech that pushes us forward arrives. Look at the usb port, that started by someone saying, "damn, why can't they just come up with one cable that does everything. It could even carry enough current to power whatever you hook up to it." Before the usb was invented that sounded like some magical tech that was not just improbable but unlikely.
