Isn’t this the whole reason they went to multi core CPUs? They know they cant keep up moore’s law forever so they are hedging their bets and providing themselves a way to increase computing power without needing a die shrink every 20 months.

I expect in 50 years we will see home desktop computers with 25 CPUs and a hundred cores each...with RAM and solid state harddrives integrated onto the CPU circuitry...and wireless modems integrated onto CPUs as well.

Cooling will be by thermoelectric refrigeration(the Peltier effect) and will also be integrated onto the CPU circuitry.

I remember back about 10 years ago reading that intel and IBM were experimenting with a type of crystalline lattice technology that would replace copper/silicon with fiber optic/crystal chip by 2010.

Well, I'm guessing that since they are still talking about copper for the foreseeable future, that it never panned out.

“Read the Intel CTO’s take on why machines could ultimately match human intelligence”

I think they eventually would, thanks to our brain dead pop culture and dumbed down curricula such as whole language and Everyday Math. But imagine if we took some of the billions of dollars that are going into improving machine intelligence and used it to improve human intelligence.
