The obvious next step is to play Doom rendered as actual PCBs. Each frame is automatically ordered online and then, when it arrives two weeks later, slotted into a holder whilst the bored player contemplates their life choices.
Assuming that's 15 FPS that's about 80-100 Euro (sans shipping) per second of gameplay and due to most PCB fabs having a MOQ of 5 you could play 5 at a time!
Yeah but just liked an overclocked gpu, there's errors on those boards so you have to throw them away and wait for the for the next revision.
But how motivating it would be to do the best speedruns!
You can speed things up with speculative execution. If you add one, you will want a good branch predictor to keep costs down.
I initially read the headline to mean they got Doom running on a PCB. I suppose with a large enough board that would be possible.
A large enough board, and a small enough camera to navigate through it FPV style.
