Why plow a field with 1024 chickens, when you can plow it with 1M worms?

The GA144's F18 core has ~20 thousand transistors, and is asynchronous, and if you make the die size the size of an Opteron, and if you wait until you can pack 20B transistors on a die, you get---one million---cores.

That chip would so cool if only its native internal representation were 32-bit... Sigh...

But it's way better than this monstrosity: http://web.media.mit.edu/~bates/Summary_files/BatesTalk.pdf
