The thing is: everything would need to be close together for those speeds to be attained.

Now for all I know this is feasible but a few issues come to mind:

-heat: chips generate heat, put alot of them together and you'll have a hard time cooling them down. (as also pointed out in the article)
-expansion: how would that work? you'd just buy a new chip and insert into a free ZIF socket? Would all chips be standard size?

Pros: it makes for off-the-shelf small computers. If every manufacturer would adhere to the standard as they have been doing with PCI, it would make small PC's easy!

All-in-all I'm very curious as to where this leads to...
