Developing a new sophisticated state of the art processor e.g. in 90 or even
65nm technologicy is a very complicatetd and especially a very expensive
project. This is complety off question for an application like a Go
processor. One needs a few million (10**6) $ for such a project.
I am working currently at the Computer-Tomography departent of Siemens.
Together with General Electrics the greatest supplier for
Computer-Tomography. Developing special purpose ASICs for image processing
is not discussed anymore. Its too expensive, too complicated and the
development cycle is too slow. All the processing is done with FPGAs.
CT is a somewhat bigger market than computer Go.

8086 instruction set. Anything less and you will have accidentally
left something out that you need.

FGA has it's limitations on speed and size. Paralell has it's practical

the
I/O structure of such a Go playing processor should have.
