That's even less appealing. Now light gates on the other hand...

I'll admit it wasn't a very funny post, especially from the POV of a petroleum engineer
OT: This does remind me of 'Infinite Detail's, although at least this is from an established institution.
That makes a lot more sense than what was quoted in the OP.
Yep. If the buses were already large enough, it's not going to change anything unless the CPU and GPU are made stronger to get that much info.
It *does* matter though but, it's not exactly the first bottleneck you'll be likely to encounter.

This is because all important Data in a GPU lives inside the GPU. There is still some performance benefit for higher end GPUs though.
You are very much writing your code with the memory architecture in mind.

The paper actualy says this technology is for on and offchip usage. So you would deliver an optical datastream between all chips on a mainboard. Thats probably why they suggested a game console as an application.
People have mentioned already but it reads like a load of buzz words and the actually application of such technology in console would be limited.
