BAD HARDWARE WEEK

There is obviously no more place in a plane. Actually there is, but wiring takes more than reduction in manufacturing process gives up. Thus, the only promising direction for transistor integration is up, vertically.

BeSang said its process, which is protected by over 25 patent applications, will allow flash, DRAM and SRAM to be placed atop logic, microprocessor cores and SoCs.

Now, seems myriad of processor in memory possible designs are viable. The most promising at this moment seems is Intel's Larrabee. When Intel will apply idea? Well, not before Larabee is out in 2010, actually that means in second iteration say in 2012 and later. That will push computing rate ahead.
