For once in my life I glanced at the ad's on the side of a page, and noticed something wrong with the XFX ad. It said DirectX 67 at the bottom. And I'm all like, WTF? So I click on it, and look what we have here!

hah...nice find.

Seems some of the site's still under construction lol. Don't think Fud was supposed to put those ad's up yet. Found a news post here: http://www.1888pressrelease.co...amers-m-pr-148238.html

And it's dated for tomorrow.

I wouldn't really call it viral. XFX links to the page on their main website. Although the link seems to be broken, I would assume because the site it links too is still under construction.

I think it's more like satirical marketing.

Sony did something like that with a Playstation 9 commercial. Link

0.01 nm and DDR-28 :laugh:

Someone's got quite the imagination over at XFX marketing

Thing is I would hope to god humans actually have this level of technology long before the year 2118. (well, not the 0.01nm thing, that's just silly, but the optic implant and DDR-28 bandwidths should be reality in 20-30yrs, not 110 years)

 

[bryanW1995]

.01nm seems out of reach right now admittedly, however, maybe the next einstein will develop a tachyon computer that spits out the answer before you ask the question!

 

[deimos3428]

Assuming bandwidth doubles whenever you increment DDR-x by one*, and assuming Moore's law says bandwidth doubles every 18 months*, we'll see DDR-28 in 34.5 years. It's more likely we won't be using DIMMs at all by then, but some wonderful new design that nobody's thought of yet.

The optic implant is a bit trickier to calculate. Assuming that you're referring to an implant that improves on the original design and not merely a crude replacement for a damaged eye, I'm putting my money on the 2118 figure.

*Which it doesn't.
