PC technology in 10 years?

[Dimetime35c]

With skylake launching this year I've been wondering, what do you think the technology will be like in 10 years time? Do you think we will be seeing close to 10Ghz speed CPU'S? What do you think graphics cards will be like then? Think we will still have gaming rigs that look like the ones now or will the technology be totally new and different?

[PlayStation 2]

considering that amd has had a 4ghz chip on the market for 3.25 years, i dunno

[SPAS-ID]

10GHz is way to crazy for next 10 Year maybe an i3 will get 3.5GHz base clock

[Aytex]

no one knows no one can tell

 

right now its getting harder and harder fitting small componants into a smaller form factor

 

unless we have a scientific breakthrough

[Manny Calavera]

move away from silicon right? 2D materials, possible 10Ghz. Easy.

i3 is kind of the budget hill, and it if had unlocked mp it would rek your i5 btw

"right now its getting harder and harder fitting small componants into a smaller form factor"  I'm not gonna even bother-jk that's what she said

? Does this refer to a penis joke?

who didnt know that

[Manny Calavera]

We'll probably see Holographic/interactive porn...Meh, I'd fap to that.

what noob u are, we could have that next year.

 

Euclideon + Vr = endless possibilities.

Yes but not 4k surround

7-8 years ago we had cpu's around 2.5-3ghz, now we have cpu's around 3-4ghz, the difference is ipc. an almost 10 years old quad core Core 2 Quad Q6600 at 3ghz is destroyed by a modern dual core celeron at 2.7GHz in most cases.

 

ghz doesn't mean anything

who didnt know that

yup. and 2 hyperthreads scale about as 1 thread in frostbite for example

so basic math(yes you can calculate like that )

 i5 4460 :           3.4 * 4 = 13.6

 overclock i3 :    4.7 * 3 = 13.8

 

overclocked i3 wins against locked i5.

[Manny Calavera]

Yes but not 4k surround

4k 5k 16k... for christ sake we have 6 core 12 thread proc for under 400 bucks easy.

 

if 1080p can be rendered on 1 old i7 core non hyperthread used 60 fps then we should have no problem making holographic room with naked women bouncing boobs around you each chick rendered in 4k resolution

 

[App4that]

Robot girlfriends, that's what we'll get.

[givingtnt]

bain controlled paint  with the 2025 model of the MindDrive 

 

 

 

that or i ill be giving my 4790k to homeless people because its obsolete

I'm no futurist, but I see Intel leaving the Socketed-CPU market.

[Vozella]

We just had flipphones a while ago and now we have smartphones. I wonder what's next.

[Avalen]

It's nigh-impossible to predict technology that far.

Possibly.

 

I personally see them releasing a CPU series to replace the Core line.

[DarkBlade2117]

No more ram

Well PC technology in terms of what?

• CPU
• GPU
• Memory
• Storage
• Media

CPU is not going to be easy to predict, if it follows the trends that we have seen in the past 10 years where clock speed has perhaps doubled or tippled at most, keeping mind of Moore's law, we may have 6Ghz base clock speeds.  However we may also have more cores per processor that are cheaper in price.

 

GPU, I don't know.  All I can say is they will be more powerful than now.

 

Memory, we may have faster memory speeds or higher capacity memory.

 

Storage, I believe solid state storage will become more common with higher capacities and speeds, we may even have new types of storage media but perhaps in their early stages.  May take much longer than 10 years for new types (crystal based, organic based, etc.) of storage to become common place.  Optical storage will become less and less common.

 

Network speeds will increase, fiber optics may become much more common in homes and even wireless speeds will become faster than we have now.  The Internet will have more people connected and utilizing it than now.

 

4K media could become more common place, and with that computer displays will probably have a higher than current pixel density making them "Retina" not to mention resolution and size of course.

 

3D graphics will become more realistic, perhaps completely indistinguishable from reality.

 

In the next 10 years we will be consuming more storage space as we produce data by the hundreds of terabytes worldwide every year with an annual increase.  Much of the data will be junk.

 

There will be more e-waste.

i believe there wont be a diy pc by that time, you just pick from tiers & performance will be pretty much same & form factor greatly reduced..

 

and i do think that there won't be a dedicated hardware for gaming, there will be like an online subscription like model for intensive task, kinda like ISP providing the internet, we just need a gateway at our end for all of this to work..  (this maybe 20-50 years ahead)

[KE2012]

I think things might become more modular than they currently are, for example, when you select a GPU you pick its mobo, Chip, Memory, cooling unit.

Hmm interesting, so the power that runs the games will be server side and you'd simply connect to it?? I'm not quite sure if that's what you mean? Could that setup even work??? Wouldn't you still need a high end GPU at least on your end to display the image? How would you control your player if your not connected right to the main system?

That would be awesome!!!!! Like you could choice air cooling or water! Would the parts be sold like how they are now so if I buy a 8gb card and I wanted more vram I could simply go online order a stick then pop it in and have a more?
