Creative Labs has spent a billion dollars developing a revolutionary new chip. It's the most amazing thing I've seen from a chip company in my lifetime. They call it stem-cell computing because the chip changes itself depending on what you need it to be used for.
It is a super computer that fits in the palm of your hand. This chip will improving computing by:
Costing 1% of the of computers with similar computing ability
Using 1% of the power consumption of computers with similar computing ability
Taking up 1% of the size of computers with similar computing ability.
It's not theory. They've already got the chips and have been demonstrating them.
Their website explains how the chip works, and where they got the idea for it. First watch the video on their main page.

Then watch this video with a live demonstration of the chip controlling multiple hi-def televisions, and doing live 3d rendering of cars with the camera rotating around them including ray tracing for the reflective parts.
The applications for this kind of computing power are staggering. I wish I could work for this company. I see this as a huge leap forward in computing.
This will ensure Moore's Law is in no danger of failing, at least for a few a decade or so.
