If his plans are successful, the inventor of flash memory is just a few steps away from delivering three-dimensional semiconductors that will give us processing chips running at ten times the speed of current-generation designs.
Fujio Masuoka, CTO of Unisantis Electronics in Japan, has announced a deal to work on his 3D chip designs with Singapore's Institute of Microelectronics to take advantage of the island nation's government facilities and specialists.
All of which means we could soon be using CPUs that make current cutting-edge architecture like the Cell look like a horse-drawn cart.
