"IBM's system ["high thermal conductivity interface technology"], while not yet ready for commercial production, is reportedly so efficient that officials expect it will double cooling efficiency."
Probably being hyped more than its actual performance, but this will certainly help.

This looks exciting...

A system Intel is envisioning, with 100 tightly connected cores on a
chip, each with 32MB of local SRAM ...
This kind of hardware, it seems, would enable the implementation of a
powerful Novamente AGI system on a relatively small number of
machines. Of course, this would require some serious customization
of the Novamente codebase, but not any fundamental change to the
Novamente AI paradigm, as the NM system has been designed with highly
flexible distributed processing in mind.
[And obviously, looking at it less selfishly, there is tremendous
potential for acceleration of other AI systems well; and exciting
things beyond AI such as virtual reality simulations...]
This stuff is several years off from commercial production, I'm sure,
but nevertheless it is nice to see what's out there.
