Go up one level in this thread


The boundary between 'what is a PC' and 'what is not a PC' needs careful
definition:  perhaps this has been done already.

For example, there are several initiatives to make chess-oriented
application-specific FPGA chipsets.  In fact, it looks like there is a race on!

Question is - "Is a PC with a bunch of FPGAs a PC or not".

I guess WMCCC could fall back on some definition of 'street-standard processor'
with 'allowable mods', e.g. refrigeration and over-clocking ... or even invite a
supplier to provide standard kit.
