Comments on: Can HP fool Moore's Law?

Researchers are replacing the communication wires inside chips with an overhead grid of tiny nanowires. That could help chips keep shrinking.

It Is Inevitable

A 2D CPU Chip will become 3D... It was going to happen no matter what anyone said or did. It's actually hard to believe that it is such a revolution, but alas a neccesity leads to the effort of doing new things. The way of the world I suppose...

no one cares until it means money

Either it's rarely in the news or it's just become rare altogether but there seems to be less research for the sake of research.

Money is everything it seems and funding doesn't apear until someone figures out how to make more money from it.

I can't wait to watch the next leaps in tech though. I'd never have imagined multiple processor workstations let alone multiple core die in workstations when I was wearing out the controllers on my brand new Coleco Adam.

The Singularity theory says otherwise

Creating a new way of building interconnects is only a remedy solution, something temporary. Getting rid of transistors is crucial not only to abide under Moore's Law, but to the revolution of process architecture as a whole. The idea of boosting the new information age by keeping old and limited technologies going on doesn't seem to match what we can achieve using nanotech-based systems. It's nice to have someone working in this direction, to solve out some short-term issues with processors that we surely will face at the end of this decade, but maybe HP could be aiming on something more promising.
