@blahorgaslisk7763Ай бұрын
@@thelespauldude3283 Well the latency would depend on the length of the connection, not if it's a wire or a path on a PCB. Both use coper and wires cab be shorter than the path of a signal path on a PCB. Remember Cray? they were once the absolute super computer masters. Well some of their early computers were using wrapped wires between the components instead of a PCB with traces. This allowed them to design the computer in 3 Dimensions rather than 2 Dimensions as a PCB forces you too do. That way the data paths were shorter and they could run the system at higher frequencies. This is part of how they were able to provide more performance than their competitors. So wire wrapping or soldering the components is harder to do, but theoretically they could be faster. Cut hey, even if you were forced to run it slower it would be a very cool GPU. Just a PCI-e connector and a blob of wires and components. In fact Cray were also water cooling their supercomputers, but of course in their own interesting way. I'm not sure how the cooling of the components were done, but they didn't use a radiator to cool the water. Instead they made the cooler a decorative waterfall that was letting the water fall down a panel and end up in a little pool. Today you can buy similar waterfalls that can be mounted to a wall as a decoration. Again to make their computers more art than equipment they made the chassi look like a round bench. In the middle there were a tower with parts of the computer. The "bench" was even covered with cushions. A little of topic but for real, wire wrapping was something Cray used to be able to make the fastest supercomputers on earth back in time.
