Wow! Imagine the games this will be able to run.

That's awesome but it was inevitable. I'm sure it will be a good number of years before they perfect it. Technology grows fast. Every year things get smaller, faster, and cooler.

As for games... give me a 16bit snes anyday.

Technology comparisons to the past will never cease to amaze me... that's just 11 years ago! This new chip that was just created will eventually become obsolete too...

And AMD still hasn't released its Quad Core.

It is scary that the general public will have access to such powerful computers.
