Motherboards, the design is currently flawed

[SkashKitsune]

The way that the motherboards are setup right now is currently flawed and just slows things down.

 

just about everything goes through the S Bridge (if applicable), N Bridge and then to the CPU THEN back down the line to it's destination.

 

Imagine how much faster it would be for the components to talk directly to each other (using applicable bridges) without needing to talk to the CPU first, I would say the loading for many of these things would be so much faster.

 

if a business was ran the same way a motherboard was designed, it wouldn't last too long, or would get to a point where it needs to change, for example...

Drug store, imagine if every single action that the pharmacist done inside the drugstore from filling scripts to selling items, the CEO at HQ has to be asked by the pharmacist, then multiply it by about 2,000 drugstores.

 

the real world example may seem exaggerated but computers to the same thing, every time that the video card is needed, the CPU is called, every time the sound is connected to the sound card (on board included) the CPU is used... yes folks, the hidden reason why your phones battery doesn't last long while playing music is because of that...

 

they need a more ergonomic design, and they also need the software developers to adapt to it so that they can make use of the new system

Just think how fast we could go through the city if we didn't have to stop at all those intersections! It would be so convenient.

 

There's a reason why the architecture is designed the way it is. The ATX m/bd has been refined over generations. It's pretty damn good.

PCH is a thing. But you can't do that because the CPU processes the data from other components.

In your "concept" you would hypothetically have a GPU talk to a SSD to load textures, but you can't because then you have to connect the SSD to the PCIE slot of the GPU but since the PCIE lanes on the CPU and you can't do this.

Exactly, that's why transport places in the rest of the world are putting the U.S. to shame with the idea of upgrading the intersections so that they can have underpasses.

 

people aren't getting what I'm saying here, I mean rip the board apart and optimize everything so that the bridges are given information on where it needs to go rather than taking it to the CPU for it to be initiated.

So why don't we do the same for our cities? Why don't we make a direct passage from every single house to every single other house?

 

The answer: space and resources. Having one connection from each and every part to each and every other part would require a lot more space, as well as a lot more raw material to be done. And in order to have a high speed, high capacity connection, it would require a lot of expensive material. When you think that such connections wouldn't be used all that much, it becomes pretty evident on why it doesn't happen.

I don't really get it, your descryption is sounds like an SoC.

 

just look into AMD APU design & Intel Baytrail

 

they trying to combine everything, inside one chip, motherboard merely a "block" to contain it.

your concept is already exist those are called System on Chip.

 

or you mean something else? well... idk.
