Here's an idea, badly explained and badly thought out, but I like it
Today, things are flat... 2-dimensional.
I don't really know how to explain this thought without gesticulating wildly but I'll try ...
Before Amiga most if not all computers worked in "serial" and the cpu did more or less everything in the system. The amiga came, and it worked in "parallel" with each part of the system doing its job, synchronized with the others. Today, most systems if not all operate sort of somewhere in-between, still with the cpu doing most of the work, but more efficient with other parts doing their own stuff. The next logical step would (in my mind at least) be a 3-dimensional design, not only for the chips, but the entire computer.
Imagine a spherical or cube shaped "motherboard" with signal paths running in all 3 dimensions to all parts of the system. Much like a Rubik's Cube, I suppose, where each unit is connected to the others and every layer doing its own job and communicating with the others. Did that make sense?
It would probably be ridiculously difficult and expensive to design, but I like toying with the Idea. I'll try to learn English a little better, so I can explain better later :-P
