Re: Why we need faster MEMORY!

Sounds interesting and a bit like offloading work to GPUs.

Ah. GPU chips are also vulnerable to Spectre but not Meltdown.

Still, a design for massively distributed processing instead of cramming even more processors onto a single die should at least be worth looking at.

Although adding more slightly slower processors to a single die might be at least as effective for a mixed workload if not for a single thread.
