And by stacking components so compactly, signal latency (the delay that results when data are moved from one part of a computer to another) would be greatly reduced, further enhancing performance.
Satellite, surprisingly, came out as having the best throughput although before you rush out to get satellite service remember that the roundtrip latency (the time it takes a data packet to go from your PC to its destination and for an acknowledgement to come back) over a satellite connection is often in the range of 900 milliseconds to 1, 400 milliseconds.
FORBES: FCC Broadband Performance Report Shows Improvement But Misses Big Picture
Right now, servers in the most advanced data centers are sitting around with nothing to do because of latency: even Microsoft admits servers are in use just 15 percent of the time.
