Computer in a Single Chip

From that point, the concept of a computer in a chip has been discussed and implemented. ( Read more on single chip computers at  Instructables.com )

 

Although it is currently not plausible at this time, the concept would eradicate the PC building enthusiast market. Or would it bring about new methods of customising your PC? Once it is becomes a reality, there will be a significant change in sizes of computers. Workstations capable of video editing or high graphics processing would be the size of the house tablet. 

 

At this point in time, a computer still needs ample cooling capabilities and this fact would still remain with the all-in-one chips. But how would cooling be implemented on a device that handles, memory, graphics and processing among other things? I am certain there are many more challenges that researchers will have to overcome before it is even viable to consider mass producing these chips. Even with the advent of this new technology, it is highly likely that the PC modding community would still be just as happy with their 1000+ watt gaming rigs.
