память далеко не на первом месте по температуре и потреблению.
The current goal is to build an exascale supercomputer within a 20MW power envelope, sometime between 2018 and 2020. Exascale describes a system that has exaflops of processing power, and perhaps hundreds of petabytes of RAM (current systems max out at around 30 petaflops and only a couple of petabytes of RAM. If today’s best DDR3 were used for the first exascale systems, the DRAM alone would consume 54MW of power. Clearly massive improvements are needed. So how do we find them?
page 2: According to a recent research paper, this could cut the RAM power consumption of a 100-petabyte supercomputer from 52MW (assuming standard DDR3-1333) to well below 10MW depending on the precise details of the technology.

TSVs orders of magnitude less energy
–250 fJ/bit for reading DRAM
–5 fJ/bit for TSV
–250 fJ/bit for mem. controller
–~0.5 pJ/bit (compared to 30pJ for conventional DIMM)
За орбитой Плутона условия для охлаждения микросхем очень хороши :)
Магнитные чипы потребляют в миллион раз меньше энергии, чем электронные транзисторы. Принцип Ландауэра
