Skyscraper computers chips outperform conventional
by 1000 times:
"In Rebooting Computing, a special issue of the IEEE Computer journal,
the team describes its new approach as Nano-Engineered Computing
Systems Technology, or N3XT.
N3XT will break data bottlenecks by integrating processors and memory
like floors in a skyscraper and by connecting these components with
millions of "vias," which play the role of tiny electronic elevators. The
N3XT high-rise approach will move more data, much faster, using far less
energy, than would be possible using low-rise circuits."
