The network based interconnection between the modules is an inexcusable performance bottleneck. Without going deep into memory design, processor architecture and cache flow, I&#039;ll show you whats wrong with a real world example.
1. I&#039;ll assume the &quot;Store&quot; module consist of a hard drive and the associated control electronics. Now the most common hard drive interface in use today is SATA which boasts a bandwidth of 3 Gigabits per second (375 Megabytes per second), compare this to the bandwidth of the wireless interconnection which only hits 480 Megabits per second (60 Megabytes per second). So with this setup the interconnection would slow the &quot;Store&quot; module to 1/6th its potential speed.
Other notes of interest:
1. HDMI has bandwidth in the Gigabit range, so HD video would probably be impossible.
2. You&#039;d do better to use Gigabit Ethernet between the units, faster and less troublesome then WiFi. But you would still have the bottleneck.
3. The above calculations assumed the interfaces worked at full speed, in the real world they wouldn&#039;t. More likely to receive roughly 75% of total bandwidth.
4. Just cause you can draw it, doesn&#039;t mean you can make it. Engineering 101. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry to tell you, but the design is flawed.
