IBM: Chips or Sugar Cubes with Your Coffee?
November 14, 2010
I think this IBM researcher is correct. Nevertheless, I want to point out that a consulting and services firm runs little risk of predictions that reach out to 2025. Point your Rockmelt social browser thing at “IBM Working Towards Supercomputers the Size of Sugar Cubes.” The nano revolution is coming, but the factoid I noted in the write up was:
Recent research at the University of Warwick revealed that next-generation supercomputers with a processing power of 1 exaflop would require the same energy as a small town to operate, which simply is not sustainable long-term.
Good call.

Freebie unlike electricity after QE2.
