Didn't know if I wanted to post this as serious discussion or off-topic, however the two seem too close for some's liking so I went with the safe bet.
After reading http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?o ... mitstart=0 it got me thinking about the future of computers which is usually a topic me and my father talk about once a season and come to little conclusion.
I'm not so much interested in what the next "Big" thing is but rather, how it will effect computer users as a whole. CUDA if successfull does really seem to annihilate the need for the 1,000+ dollar Extreme CPUs completely (Which...aren't NEEDED by anything anyway afaik).
So, what do you guys see happening to computers in the future? What would you like to see? I'm sure in 10 - 20 years we will be working on hologram touch based programs, full Virtual Reality Games and such but what would really allow the PC for you guys to be more immersive?
I think NVidia has the right idea here, and I think it is a big chop in the leg versus the processing giants and showing these extreme processors are semi at the limit. Now if only we could get the other bottlenecks of computing to be exposed and fixed (Which is what I want to see).
