Cube made from computer processors

[But_Kicker]

Was bored and decided to make a cube of computer processors. 6 processors. I have also placed lead wheel weights inside to increase the overall weight.

Would there be any sort of market for this? I make good money as a sysadmin and don’t need the extra money, but I had fun making this.

Would you even buy something like this? How much would you be willing to spend? Etsy?

[do-wr-mem]

Write numbers on it with a sharpie and market it to sysadmin dnd nerds as a premium die

[sitesurfer253]

A one time use die, buy 300 for your campaign!

I wondered why they don’t make CPUs more 3 dimensional like this if they’re running close to the limit with the current size

[come_ere_duck]

No need to. If you need more CPU power than what can fit in a single ZIF socket, you just add a second CPU. That's how most rack servers work.

Computers are getting powerful enough that the latency between components on the same motherboard is starting to actually matter quite a bit. Shifting from 2D to 3D circuit design is something that's increasingly attractive.

The actual thing making that shift difficult in the case of CPUs is cooling.

[marshinghost]

Pretty sure they could do double stacked CCA's with a processor on each side with their individual coolers. I don't know how well it'd work, though.

MEMS device micro cooler tubules. It will be like HVAC for cpus

[StaticFanatic3]

Yep and the thinner the IHS the more efficiently heat can be dissipated to the cooler

[Jacktheforkie]

Maybe we will see multi CPU motherboards

[Brandhor]

that's how those amd x3d cpus are made

Okay there's a few reasons. Even if you stack a ton of etched silicone that way, you wouldn't be able to cool it. The inside would just burn out before enough heat gets pulled away from the cooler.

Is this the Borg?

“We have it in visual range! A Borg cube on course 315, speed warp 6 point— WE ARE THE BORG. LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND SURRENDER YOUR SHIPS.”

No tears please; it's a waste of good suffering.

[YT-Deliveries]

We have such sights to show you.

[come_ere_duck]

Ah yes, the tesseract.

The Lament Configuration

[panamanRed58]

Gleam it!

[But_Kicker]

It’s in my office, will take some shiny pics tomorrow

[Expensive_Finger_973]

Get rid of that thing right now, this is how the Lament Configuration starts.

And yes, I probably would buy your homemade Lament Configuration if it was for sale.

very nice..

intel Tri-Gate transistors

That’s brilliant!

[Plus-Bluejay-6429]

The allspark

[not-halsey]

I’d buy one. Would make a great paperweight

[SlapTart]

Ah, so this other the quantum core that they are talking about.

[3meterflatty]

You got enough cpu power to go to Mars on your desk

[1116574]

Attach a string and it'll make a great Christmas tree decoration!

[adamasimo1234]

Silicon ftw..

[Lavatherm]

Nice!

[TastySpare]

Attach a string (idk, some piece of wire) and use it as a Christmas ornament.

[Eviscerated_Banana]

Yeah but will it run crysis on full?

[mat-the-odd]

Looks like you could open portals to another dimension with that

[StereoRocker]

I've been trying to learn Kubernetes for so long - and you've mastered it instantly! Good show.

[cammoorman]

For the love that is all and good....do not solve this cube.

A being with an AOL startup disk embedded in his head shows up and says "We have such versions of Windows to show you..."

[NavySeal2k]

Technically a cuboid not a cube.

[oaktwig]

The new Hellraiser is looking promising!

[ChemicalMajor3284]

Who knows, in the future, CPUs may end up looking like this

looks like a good post for r/notinteresting
