"IBM intends to produce the Power8 processor, planned for 2013 (in 28 or 22nm), using 3D stack technology, with a directly linked memory and also, probably, a layer of small specialised computing cores adapted for specific intended uses. It is here that the successors of the Synergistic Processing Units of the Cell processors might turn up; the 3D stacks offer lots of room for modularity." http://www.h-online.com/newsticker/news/item/Processor-Whispers-About-Chancellors-and-3D-Chips-1206912.html
