I'd hate to think of the cost of this thing.

Bet it's a profitable miner.:p

Hah well... I was complaining earlier today that they didn't make anything with multiple dies. I'm glad they did.

I wonder if AMD and Intel as well will need to shift into this sort of products (in the industrial sphere) where everything's integrated and common interfaces are replaced with something tailor-made for their own products to maximise the bandwidth and minimise the latency.

where Apple goes... but i think you've really hit the nail as far as Enterprise goes. the server market now has many categories when it used to have two - workstation and IT infrastructure. and those categories have such very specific needs vs mass market. i really like the Nvidia and AMD approach with dedicated hardware features far more than where Intel is going with their software defined feature sets for Xeon. IMHO, that is waving the white flag for entire market segments that need more than an instruction suite of software for aging and power hungry hot hardware. that is just Intel serving legacy customers.
