Soooo, scientifically speaking.... Huh? o.O

One word: Perkinamine NR™

I can imagine this cpu run on like 70ghz or more, without any significant heat generation, plus it could probably be the first cpu with a 3D design, like layers on top of each other.
imagine 1 core operating at 50ghz, with 32 cores on 1 layer, and like 5 layers encapsuled in 1 cpu.
and it would be awesome if a customer could buy several cpu's to connect on top of each other, like lego, maybe even on the sides, meaning that 1 cpu would have 6 sides available to connect with other cpus.

Anny bottlenecks when using light this way?

@RussellTuan yes, since you can use WDM on the wave guide, effectively you would not need to route, since the end and start points of each bus stop use the same wave guide to transmit data. the signals are independent and can only be detected where they are needed using simple optical filtering. Bandwidth is limited by interferance typical in any optical system, as well as the quality of laser modulation

@douro20 How could you not think about the memory controller? This could potentially make the connection between the RAM and the CPU extremely fast...Combined with a (extremely advanced) SSD, it would simply be a killer speed to open a program...

The biggest use I could see for this is the bus interconnects between cores in a multicore processor.

How do I get employed by Intel?
I have an i7

The light fantastic. The next leap in processing !
Awesome !!

@bloodaid now imagine youre a customer and think, hey, I want some more power, should I overclock? yes! should I buy a new cpu? yes! should I buy 2, 3, maybe 6 new cpus? hell yeah!
so 6 cpus = 5layers*6 = (32cores*5layers)*6cpus = 960 cores.
that would be superdupermeganerdgasmawesome!
imagine if intel would release those types of cpus in 5 years.
all other companies would totally explode from bunkrupcy.
and oh, imagine RAM built into each core. like 1gb in each layer.
the future is awesome!!!
