Magnetic Processors

[Joe]

Normal Processors Use electrical transistors but these radical new processor designs use Magnetic transistor replacements ;

Because the chip has no wires, its device density and processing power may eventually be much higher than transistor-based devices. And it won't be nearly as power-hungry, which will translate to less heat emission and a cooler future for portable hardware like laptops.

Computers using the magnetic chips would boot up almost instantly. The magnetic chip's memory is non-volatile, making it impervious to power interruptions, and it retains its data when the device is switched off.

These chips can be reprogrammed on the fly allowing new instructions to be added or optimisation for whatever process you are running -- imagine a proc that could run ppc , X86-64 programs and then become specialised for the task u r doing .. like hardware MPEG4/h.264 encoding .. these chips would produce very efficient computer systems.

that would be great if the cpu memory wasnt volatile its one thing that annoys me about normal ram
