3M and IBM to Develop New Types of Adhesives to Create 3D Semiconductors

3M and IBM today announced that the two companies plan to jointly develop the first adhesives that can be used to package semiconductors into densely stacked silicon "towers." Processors could be tightly packed with memory and networking, for example, into a "brick" of silicon that would create a computer chip 1,000 times faster than today's fastest microprocessor enabling more powerful smartphones, tablets, computers and gaming devices.

IBM and 3M better not leave out AMD on this one. I hate seeing AMD left in the cold all the time. Intel has repeatedly bribed companies to not use AMD based devices, such as dell and sony. I always look out for the underdog and AMD is being targeted all the time. poor little ol' amd :(

ITS OVER 9000!!!

Who knows what novel methods allot of these companies have at there R&D labs.

It could turn out that we may not even need 3D chips who knows.

So does it mean I should wait till I PC game

[daniel roger]

and it will 1,000 hotter will have to have the fire brigade on stand bye or have a sprinkler system installed and even if this technology is ready now it be released to public in drip feed to recover their R & D maybe 2020 or 2030

[labobo]

Any updated news on this project?

Have it failed?

I'm pretty sure this is just market Darwinism. Could you imagine if we survived perfectly fine as primates? We wouldn't have gotten anywhere with evolution.

[nebraska farmer]

so If one good chip is $200 100 chips glued together is going to be $20,000? im confused isn't this just as good as making a mobo with 100 cpu slots?

That's how business works.

It would be interesting to see if any progress has actually been made on this instead of relying on a video that is rapidly approaching two years old, and in the year that they are supposed to "unveil" this new tech-trinket.

[Ben Baird]

Bulshit.

[SargentCarnage]

so wait a 100X8350's thats what 400GHz with 1600MB(1.6GB) cache but its also gonna be 12500W TDP

OR

100XA10 5800K witck is 340GHz with a 100X7660 in CrossfireX that one hell of a PC
