re: My guess is there are algorithms that x86 (probably most others too ... ) blows chunks for, that you can quickly fabricate a specialized chip for it in Verilog or VHDL, and speed things up 1000% LOL, typical snot-nose teenager punk kid talk. (but true) Petz

Don't forget "depending on how easy it is to PROGRAM this stuff." The tools will come. I'm a believer. I'm buying it hook-line-and-sinker. It is going to lower the barrier to entry into silicon processor design. It is going to allow people to build new design without worrying about backwards compatibility. You let the Opteron/A64 do the grunt work and admin and you let your little jewel of silicon perform magic on the 10% of the code that does 90% of the work. -Magrathea
