For the time being, probably only petaflop supercomputer designers needing to route vast numbers of bits very quickly between parallel processors and memory banks"
All I want to be able to do is run Photoshop on this_

@soldstatic: Oh yeah! They'd have to play catch up in order to keep up_ Every aspect of the computer would have to be upgraded to compensate for this piece of it_

For example Cars_ Thru the years the Engine has been reworked - refined - rebuilt - upgraded - advanced and improved upon_ All the while the Tires - the Brakes - Cooling System - Suspension - Frame - Intake - Exhaust and on and on - have been upgraded and improved upon to match it_ Think about the current Corvette Z06 which houses an LS7 7-litre V8_ Now take that engine and slap it in a Corvette from the 1960's [everything stock but the new engine]_ All of that stuff I listed above wouldn't be able to handle the power output of the engine_

Basically something similar would happen_

I'd rather they skip everything they are working on and move right to this.

...or they can build toward it, whatever.
