Just some back of the envelope calculation but at light speed at 1THZ a signal could travel 3000000/1000000000000 =.0003 meters and i5 processors are about 17x17 mm so a signal could only get about 20% of the way across the chip on that clock at light speed, I don't know how much slower than light speed they actually move though...
I think the problem is the higher the clock the less time the signals have to get to other parts of the chip, so the number of transistors you can have in lockstep gets smaller and smaller for a given size of transistor... so even if everything was switching at 1 thz most of the time they'd be waiting for signals to reach them from other parts of the chip...
The stuff they are probably using for this is the 3m engineered fluids that have a really high vapor pressure so the mess should just evaporate, and it's really low viscosity so the heat moves away from the parts by convection so no need for pumps, the heat exchanger is put above the fluid where it recondenses and falls back into the bath...
The inertial and gravitational mass have to be the same for conservation of energy. Consider the thought experiment where you have two metal spheres isolated in space apart from one another each with zero velocity. Their gravitational mass accelerates them together for a collision (let's say perfectly elastic), they rebound in the opposite direction and their inertial mass keeps them going against the gravitational pull between them until they are apart again with zero velocity by the same distance , at which point the whole process repeats.
That's the chip I have too, and upgrading to an SSD was a huge leap. Another thing was upgrading the graphics card from a radeon 3850 to a 6850, now it runs all the new games like Bioshock Infinite on high settings. If I upgrade anytime in the near future it will probably be because the new chipsets can pay for themselves on power savings, I haven't done those calculations yet.
If there's not already a named law for it I submit that "There is no level of sarcasm that won't be interpreted literally by someone." Maybe called The Whoosh lLaw.
actually considering stuff like the planck length it might turn out the deep down analog underneath the digital cd may be way way deep down digital again....
The way I explained why gravitational mass and inertial mass are the same is by considering the thought experiment of two balls in space starting off a ways apart, they gravitationally attract and then kinetically bounce apart, if inertial mass and gravitational mass were different they would either eventually become stuck together or drift infinitely apart which can't happen due to conservation of energy...
It doesn't really cost that much to patent something. You could take out a loan if necessary. Why isn't there a wikipedia article on magfets, they seem cool.
I just thought, what if you could remove all the higgs bosons from steel, you could have airplane frames that float. Or maybe that's not the way it works lol.
Wouldn't it be great if refrigeration and air conditioning could be done with semiconductors somehow? I'd love to see new air conditioners running for half the cost every 2 years.
Why would a console be a thousand dollars and only have some kind of integrated graphics. Why the emphasis that it be small and power efficient vs. powerful enough to play any game at max settings. I mean does this thing seem like any "gaming" rig you've ever seen? I think they should just compile a list of hardware that can be put together and be "steam" certified and be done with it. Just give the developers something to target.
Some people's most recent African ancestors lived there within the last few hundred years and others were many millenia ago. Of course then there are the Berbers that are a fair-skinned African tribe:) In general being real specific about how a person can tell in general what race a person is is probably akin to creating Strong A.I., but that doesn't mean people can't do it. It'd also be hard to describe exactly how people can tell the difference between a Escher painting and a Dali, or a Beethoven and a Mozart song.
In a double blind study, I believe people could do a pretty fair job of sorting say a hundred pictures of people who's families have lived in certain parts of the world for the last 20 or so generations, at least as to what continent they were from.
There is a scientific device to measure albedo: fresh snow measuring.9 and charcoal.4, it would be a simple matter to measure the albedo of all the finalists from the last few olympics in swimming and sprinting and I believe there would be a strong correlation between albedo of skin and whether the person was a swimmer or sprinter.
For the record I don't consider myself racist, maybe it's not even a good thing that the brain can organize people by race, but I don't see any point in pretending it can't.
That's funny, you can't put your finger on what exactly the difference is between the way the majority of swimmers look and the way the majority of sprinters look... hint the sprinters are about a 100 shades darker lol. I must seem psychic to you that I can tell whether someone either is from Asia or has Asian ancestors. I can even use my magic to tell whether they're from Korea, vietnam, Japan, or China. Maybe you also can't tell the difference between a golden retriever and a yellow labrador? Or maybe you just don't like the use of the word race to describe those obvious physical differences, that last one is a genuine question.
I keep trying to think if you are right that there will be no need for the dedicated graphics card, the way the FPU moved into the CPU a while back.. What would you put in the PCI-Express socket? Did I read you right that you think it would be another CPU? I wonder what kind of specialization it would have.

I'd hate to see what single word you'd give a 10.
Lol I guess that's why they don't have an obfuscated perl contest it would be too hard to decide who won.

the headache is probably from straining to hear what's wrong with the 192kbit mp3.
That is probably why the word ungulate means a hoofed mammal.

I've never seen someone whooshed so hard, wow.
From what I've heard nobody has ever double blind discerned a better quality than CD...
actually considering stuff like the planck length it might turn out the deep down analog underneath the digital cd may be way way deep down digital again....
I had an Allman Brothers CD I think it was Live from Ludlow Garage and the second CD was all one 45 minute song it was amazing.
that made me think what if that level were randomly generated each time so you could never memorize it, it would drive people mad...
He was using cheap as a synonym for low build quality which makes by no means cheap a good thing...
