I don’t know why I made this comic, but which component would you pick? Share your choice and reasoning in the comments

    Damn. Here I am, a simple man, I would settle for a case that repels dust.

  2. Probably the GPU, to mine some Bitcoin. Especially with that iPhone power efficiency.

    While money isn’t everything, it surely helps.

    The whole comic needs to be “heard” in the voice of Robin Williams.

  3. Zealousideal_Monk6

    Easy, ssd. You know how much furry p*** I could put on it.

  4. agentrnge

    I would take the supercomputer in a box magic CPU. Assuming the system around it would be able to utilize it. Apply it to every distributed workload and simulation/modelling task out there.

  5. TheSymbolman

    Easily the ssd. Infinite storage has been my dream since the age of 11

  6. SpaceWindrunner

    SSD.

    Current gaming doesn’t need those kinds of CPU or GPU, but infinite storage would be a dream come true.

  7. Probably the CPU, all that processing power could probably be used for something cool sciency (idk, quantum computer or something) and it has integrated graphics the equivalent of 2 4090s. Since there’s no 16k (or 8k for that matter) games now anyway the GPU is not really necessary if you have the CPU.

  8. Madrock777

    Storage is almost never an issue for me. I’d probably take the gpu. Useful for gaming but also opens up a lot of other options that I couldn’t get into before.

    Though even if infinite storage doesn’t seem useful now it’s probably the most future proof of the items. Eventually GPU and CPU will be outdated. Infinite storage though, that will always be useful. I’m just betting on not being alive when the gpu and cpu are no longer the best.

    If the SSD has infinite storage, wouldn’t it take the storage drive an infinite amount of time to find anything????

  10. Strange-Scarcity

    Take the CPU.

    With that much power, you can virtualize any GPU and still have it run CRAZY fast.

  11. MrInitialY

    I don’t need much storage. I am good with 3 tb, maybe 10tb in future.

    CPU with that much processing power but no statements on power efficiency? Hell nah, I don’t want a mile-long rad to cool it down.

    Ultra-efficient GPU that is enough for games, heavy workloads, AI and mining all at the same time for at least another 50 years? Yeah, I’ll take that. Surely it’ll be limited by PCIe speeds, drivers are not going to be updated until the same model releases actually but qith those specs i think I’m fine.

  12. DangyDanger

    Absolutely the SSD. It’s the only component here that will never become obsolete.

  13. party_time485

    God that was cringe AF to look through

  14. MOo0stafa

    The 16 k cyberpunk in 10 monitors got me off guard

  15. Infern0_YT

    Ok but do you have the monitor to support the gpu?

    Like storage would be nice but you can buy more than enough storage for a single person.

    Cpu is the play. Makes everything run fast.

    Assuming you can’t sell these things to nasa or something

  16. Twentyhundred

    CPU, no doubt. No more bottlenecking, ever. I know technically my GPU would be the bottleneck, but over the years, I’ve learned that that is a much better situation to be in.

  17. eggnorman

    The MagicHeartX720. It could smoke anything – even a modern GPU, at that speed.

  18. Handsome_ketchup

    Quantum calculation all day, everyday. That’s not just fancy hardware turned to 111, that’s so powerful it’s expected the first nation to pull it off will near instantly become one of the most powerful nations in the world.

  19. Not_Bed_

    That cpu literally erases the point for gpu’s existence, since a cpu can do every compute task (gpu can’t) by having that insane amount of processing power you could easily run any game now or in idk how many gens from now at a badillion fps at whatever res

  21. _therealERNESTO_

    That CPU is so insanely fast that it could probably beat the super GPU alone (without the iGpu, just doing the rendering by itself). 3 PHz is 3 million GHz, so it would be roughly a MILLION times faster than a modern CPU in single core (even without IPC improvements), and it has an obscene amount of cores and threads.

    The cache amounts are just stupid, it wouldn’t need memory basically, and it has the same amount of L1 cache as the vram of the super gpu, but it would probably be much faster memory, with lower latency too.

    It can also act as a substitute to the super SSD. You can use the 50TB L3 cache as storage and while not infinite it’s still plenty and it is much faster.

    Edit: it’s 1 TB L1 cache per core lmao, so 10240 TB in total. I don’t see the point of adding L2 and L3 then, you could fit everything in L1 and have enough storage for 100 lifetimes. The fact that it’s volatile memory could be a problem though, unless the CPU is super reliable and power efficient, then you just keep it on forever.

  22. PenguinsRcool2

    A wall outlet thats 20amp and is free electricity to that outlet

  23. AlphaTrion810

    For the CPU and GPU you would need a motherboard that can handle them.

    Imagine the cooling capacity you would need to keep that CPU from melting everything around it, plus the power consumption

    No current PCI slot would be able to do that GPU justice.

  24. so i wouldnt pick the ssd, as the write speed being so high is irrelevant if your internet isnt also insanely fast

    the gpu sounds like bottleneck hell

    so the cpu

  25. Dead-Thing-Collector

    the ssd..

    .how in the hell am I gonna cool that cpu without constant LN…the gpu, the interface will eventually become obsolete….

    Not only that, but with infinite storage, you could technically make an infinite swap/page file…at 50gbs I’d say your good. Memory leaks? Who cares lol

  26. BadNadeYeeter

    An infinite SSD that is error-free?

    Gotta wait a few decades till the Mind can be digitalized so that you can achieve a somewhat strange form of “Immortality”

  27. Stormchaserelite13

    Infinite ssd. None of the other parts are compatible with current tech.

  28. Reditace

    I feel like the SSD would be the most impactful for humanity. Like, a single thing that can hold every piece of information ever created? It would be wildly useful (also you would just sell it to NASA and be set for life, and then use that money to continually upgrade a pc so you don’t ever really need the other components)

  29. DanTheMan827

    As tempting as the unlimited SSD would be… the super computer on a chip.

    Use it to mine as much crypto as I want while taking advantage of the adaptive architecture feature, solve every distributed computing problem, then sell the crypto to buy as much high-end gear as I want.

    Or if I didn’t want to make a scene by minting new crypto in a matter of seconds, just use it to brute force the private keys for otherwise lost wallets with lots of bitcoin in them.

  30. Flying_Fox_86

    Well, assuming that through some magical means i can put it in my acer notebook from 2011, then im taking the cpu.

  31. Noxious89123

    My god it would take so long to error check and format that SSD, no thank you.

  32. MetroSimulator

    For me the no brainer choice is the GPU, considering the AI applications I’ll probably make a move buck.

  33. Decapitat3d

    The integrated graphics on that CPU would be sufficient for anything I need to run for the rest of my life. I’m sold!

  34. CorianderIsBad

    The CPU. Looks like the most overpowered option.

  35. SweetMannyDreams

    In fact (only my mean). The right choice is CPU. You basically get both a CPU and a video card at the same time. Yes you have to live with that pathetic integrated graphics (like 2×4090) but for now it’s more than enough. And if there is a possibility to somehow use CPU L3 cash for real data storage (I don’t know if it’s real), you can get an additional 10TB for data storage – which is not bad either

  36. GammaSmash

    SSD for me. I’d have every emulator and ROM/ISO ever known to man.
