AMD engineering is currently working on new ways to integrate processing power with user interaction with relative ease.  By focusing on revising the way in which CPUs handle data and information, we could start to see more efficient methods in programming, processing speed, as well as more refined biological indentification technology.  Of course, the key goal is not just more efficient processing, but also better understanding of the human condition, so to speak.  Basically, making it so that computers and humans can have a greater level of mutual synergy and interaction never before thought possible.  And although we still have a lot of work still ahead, the rate of progress is very much hopeful.

"AMD CTO Mark Papermaster outlined his vision of the future of computing at this year's Hot Chips semiconductor design conference, detailing his plans to build systems where natural human communication could allow greater interactivity between users and computing hardware, a concept he called "Surround Computing."

Papermaster outlined a world in which natural user interfaces such as gestures, fingerprints and facial recognition replace keyboards, touchscreens and mice for interactive experiences on tablets and other devices.

That added degree of tactile interaction can help users connect more naturally with their electronic hardware but would require more power for data servers to keep up with the onslaught of information constantly thrown at it."
