IBM says that the company has developed a way to make processors run up to one third faster or use fifteen percent less power by using a “self assembling” material.

The computer services and technology company said the new process allows the wiring on a chip to be insulated with vacuum, replacing the glass-like substances used for decades but which have become less effective as chips steadily shrink.

Sounds like a good technology, and they are partners with AMD, so hopefully that means we will see some cool technology pop up in AMDs CPUs in the next years.
 
If they get it to work, it will be an amazing technology.
 
Self assembling?
Should we be scared yet?

"Hello SkyNET. How are you today? Have you met The Matrix?
Oh, I see. You two are now married and procreating."

How nice.

At first I thought this material could assemble itself into giant armies. And then the Matrix comment made me think about the giant Agent Smith. Am I scared or eager for this?
 
This combined with the CERN project would make a great book.

We open up a portal to Alpha Centuri, and send our nano-builders there to create a planet of large breasted, cooperative humanoids...



... wow, it's weird in my brain.
