If several chips can be taken and make them behave like one large chip from an electrical and signal timing perspective, what will happen is a whole different ball game. Because in the span of processor development history, speeds have improved up to 4,000% yet I/O speeds have only managed to improve by a factor of just 10 to 15.
Proximity communication is thought to be the solution to catapult I/O speeds into the stratosphere and can greatly improve the speed of applications requiring high-performance compute power, such as weather modeling, car-crash simulations or medical simulations. Such technological innovation is so ingeniously displayed, reducing the need for big on-chip caches, freeing up huge real estate.
I wonder if proximity communication can be applied to humanity as we mankind is not advancing in terms of face-to-face, day-to-day communications when you think about it.
Won't be long before human CPUs are captivated by computer processors. We gotta act fast before extinction.

Mmmm....you know what...I think we humans can just TALK to each other wirelessly too!! Heh heh!!! When that power outage hits...chaos reigns in this new and "better" world!
