The future of GFX is looking rather small

Some info from a familiar name http://theovalich.wordpress.com/20 [...] -of-intel/

Looking forwards, by the time say Larrabee arrives , late 2009 or early 2010, a G200 would be 1/3 the saize today, or more precisely, well have cards out thatre better than 3 G280s in tri sli. You just gotta love the future, even as it shrinks, it seems less IS more

Tell that to a prostitute! LOL

28nm ? Thats almost 280 times bigger then an atom. Soon we'll need a new generation of transistors.

even as it shrinks, it seems less IS more

Try convincing my girlfriend

lol the less she wear the more we see.

seeing as you don't really have a firm grasp on dimensions and sizes, here's a quick link for you:

http://www.webelements.com/copper/atom_sizes.html

Your average copper ion is in the double digits picometer range. That's 0.1 Ångstrom or 0.05 nm.

Your average copper atom is in the triple digit picometer range. That's 1.3 Ångstrom or 0.13 nm.

As of right now, we're looking at 45nm-32nm stuff. The intel's roadmap is planned until 10nm before 2019.

As for going smaller than that, there's big chances that a new "paradigm shift" will happen, ie DNA-based computing or something of the sort. Those ideas are tested in labs across the world as we speak. I wouldn't be worried that scientists and engineers will come up with new and innovative solution in the next decade

Everyone has to remember tho, it all started with adam..errr I mean atom
