Any chance you might speculate on where the cutoff may be for creating a machine capable of handling that much data in such a dynamic way? Lets say we benchmark cpus at about 2.6 billion transistors (SPARC T3). What if they had 32x that many transistors, or were 32x as dense? That would be about 15years from today if Moores Law holds. Maybe a little more (you never know what sort of wall we might run into, eh?).
Would a machine with 32x the brute force power (imagine the programming options) of something like SPARC T3 be in the running for a pass on a Turing test, judging by our benchmark of today-in your estimation? Or would you put it further out in time or scale?
