'our' beloved z80, on glass!

It's amazing! but it's not really fast (and it's huge)
I never saw it until today lol wonder why..

I don't know if you have ever touched a proccessor, but they are very, very hot. Plastic would just melt.Liazon wrote:maybe they'll get this to work on plastic sheets or something. it might be a similar idea. printed circuits ^^

Then they'll have to print a fan onto the plastic as well. XDJoostinOnline wrote:I don't know if you have ever touched a proccessor, but they ar very, very hot.

Besides, glass is much MUCH closer to silicon than any kind of plastic
Glass is mainly silicon dioxide (aka sand) with some additions to enhance its chemical properties.
But then there's something else, a processor this huge wouldn't really get all that hot would it.. It is its own heatsink
And on the thinner/wider etc..
If they'd just scale it down, they'd scale it down. Meaning it will get as much thinner as less wide so it would be just the same - on a smaller scale. Of course that would make it both faster and hotter..

probably would need to engineer a very heat resistant plastic then, but at that point, it might just impede the desired electrical or physical properties. oh well ^^ i might have been confusing this w/ the printed solar panels, or printed nanotubes.JoostinOnline wrote:I don't know if you have ever touched a proccessor, but they are very, very hot.

ya, glass sure takes a lot of punishment when it's just chemistry, and not somebody dropping it to the ground.
