In 2009…

April 10th, 2006

Developers will face CPUs with

  • 20+ cores
  • 80+ hardware threads
  • 1+ TerraFlops of computing power (today < 5 GigaFlops)

So sayeth Tim Sweeney in “The Next Mainstream Programming Language: A Game Developers Perspective”

    Unfortunately, by then MSFT will be on to WPF++ which will need a 10 terraflop machine to really sing… :-)

    Darnit WPF is fast … all you have to buy is a $500 graphics card that will be ready in 2007. And then bam, all your WPF apps with rotating animations would be super fast. :-)
