Some serious people are arguing http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2006/EECS-2006-183.html that, among other things, the sweet spot for performance is down around there, and perhaps presently we will get hypermodern CPUs (or, likely, chips populated by highly integrated CPUs, RAM, and network controllers as far as the I can C) which get their bang for the buck that way. There seem still to be a few open design issues, though.:-| -- William Harold Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP key fingerprint 85 CE 1C BA 79 8D 51 8C B9 25 FB EE E0 C3 E5 7C Ubi saeva indignatio ulterius cor lacerare nequit. -- Jonathan Swift's epitaph _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
