We base it on spring scales instead of Turing machines. Tension on the spring equates to various numerical values instead of just using some tape to be a 0 or 1. This means various charge levels, options, switches etc. And more complex logic.

That's pretty much what we're using rotated, only of course you made it harder because mobo connections have to go around the gpu.

But the entire point of the turing machine was that it can be implemented in a much simpler fashion and emulate any machine such as the one you mentioned. Sure, you'll have analog measurements, but a good turing machine could simulate it to a greater degree of precision than you'd need anyway.

Proposal for GPUs:

I mostly like where this is going:
>>51215534
but VRAM generally needs to directly flank the GPU to save DDR interface power and simplify PCB routing.
also, this seems like it would be substantially bigger than standard atx mini-towers.
>>
>>51216061
the concept was for an enthusiast build in something with a size closer to a Corsair Air 540. the GPU board being optional and still fitting standard GPU's in the PCIe slot if needed. the VRAM is probably unnecessary anyway, thanks to HBM...
>>
>>51214745
Well a turing machine/computer could theoretically simulate anything imaginable. I'm just saying that we have a physical version of something that's beyond the 0 and 1 switch idea..

as much as I like that idea, we'd still be limited to the clearance of the PCI slots. GPU's draw double the power of CPU's but only have half the cooling...
>>
>>51216290
>theoretically simulate antything imaginable
not using electricity like we do. Try making electric turing machines that emulate a living cell or a virus.

You'll need components smaller than Lorentz radius. Which means electrons would be unpredictable at that scale. Also, what would you use for the physical structure?

Here is a mockup I did for a custom PC real quick in sketchup.

Basically a lot like a PC now but I designed it around a natural airflow of sucking the air from the bottom and out the top. Has the PSU outside the case, along with the drive bays to not interfere with the airflow just passing over the HD's, motherboard and GPU.
>>
>>51221812
I don't even get what is with you wannabe 90s kids and the "x86 is holding us back because it's not RISC" meme, x86 has been internally RISC for twenty years and desktop RISC stagnated and died in the 2000s because it was uncompetitive overpriced garbage. This is coming from somebody who actually uses non-x86 architectures on the desktop.

I don't understand. Is RISC the same think as ARM? Sorry if I sound like a noon.
>>
>>51214593

>>
>>51223147
RISC CPUs removed seemingly useless instructions from the set, allowing more room on the chip to make the useful ones better

most architectures are RISC
the problem with x86 is it has unneeded backwards compatibility with 80's computer theory

Intel's been wanting to move away for over a decade but the market, and government, have shut them down every time

Reduced Instruction Set Computing

CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) architectures like DEC's VAX, Motorola's 68k and Intel's x86 have a bewildering variety of instructions which can be very powerful, at the cost of making the chip more complicated and slower.

RISC chips like ARM, SGI's MIPS or DEC's Alpha cut out all of this bloat, reducing the instruction set to a small and manageable amount. Where a big, slow and complex CISC design may use a specific, powerful instruction, a small, fast-clocked and simple RISC design will instead use a series of smaller, less complicated instructions to do the same task.

/g/ loves the RISC meme because RISC systems absolutely kicked ass in the '90s, nothing could outrun the SPARC, MIPS and Alpha juggernaut. Intel would later give in and design the Pentium Pro around a streamlined RISC core with a subsystem that translated x86 instructions into smaller, simpler instructions for the core to execute, and it managed reasonably well, Pentium Pros were great performers on 32-bit code (and 32-bit code only).

What /g/ forgets is that eventually, RISC chips and the systems they shipped with turned to shit and stagnated on the desktop, and RISC workstations during the 2000s weren't the absolute shit-wreckers they used to be.

>>51223294
And there's a reason the market shuts them down, because that legacy compatibility is not unneeded. The real world doesn't give a shit about staying up to date, they give a shit about what works. Had they not have, we could be living in the EPIC/VLIW utopia Intel had long dreamed of with the Itanic.

I'd really love to see some innovation in desktop form factor PCs (as in the ones that lay flat on your desk). Towers are cool but it's even cooler when your fully upgradable PC just kinda vanishes underneath your monitor.

I've heard that heat can be a problem with these systems, but couldn't water cooling take care of that?
>>
I think GPU'S are now important enough to have their own socket like a CPU. I think it would be far more efficient and customisable. You could have Dimms for the GPU just like the CPU and cooling could be the same as the CPU, just use the same form factor mounting. I know it wouldn't be possible right now because none of the GPU manufacturing companies would agree to doing so because it would put them out of business. Imagine the preformance gains you could get from making this switch though. The Only problem is the GPU chip form factor with different numbers of pins on each chip, a modular solution would be needed.
>>
>>51223899
...How would migrating from a universal slot to a proprietary socket and lessening costs spent on manufacturing video memory put anyone out of business? Literally all this would do is screw the customer over even more since he would have to buy a heatsink and video RAM along with a GPU, and he would have to totally board swap if he ever wanted to upgrade an older system.

It would work well with HBM. You could have 2 gpu sockets next to the cpu, all the VRMs for the CPU and GPU would be in 1 spot. You could then cover the gpu, cpu and VRM with one waterblock or large heatpipe cooler. If only you could get 32gb HBM on a cpu as well, you could probably make a 10cmx10cm motherboard.

This is fucking retarded. THE ONLY reason HBM is so fucking fast is because it is soldered RIGHT NEXT TO the GPU.

In fact, the only reason regular VRAM is so fast is because it's soldered onto the card itself. Soldering and integration is the way to go for performance gain, because signal travel time and loss is massively reduced by soldering and integration. Why the flying fuck don't you think CPUs long ago absorbed memory controllers and integrated them?

Even worse, putting the GPU itself and VRAM in separate slots just means the GPU has to wait for the fucking system bus to be clear even more than it does now (during DMA transfers).

You'd gimp the damn GPU and the bottlenecks would be everywhere. You two are completely retarded.
