This sounds like it could've been a story about a featured build on CPU magazine. Maybe some cube shaped open air PC and how it was going to change the future of case design?
As far as things that are going to change everything performance wise maybe 3D caches? I could see there being promotional art of that with a blue cube showing how memory layers are stacked.
It wasn't an artist's randition, it was photos. And it wasn't a case, it looked like a component. Or maybe an entire computer in one, like the Raspberry Pi? I don't know, man, it was a cube, I'm not a scientist.
I still use a Tesseract Deepcool case for my home PC that I got in the mid 2010s. Nothing groundbreaking, could have more fan slots. It didn’t change the world, but it did open my world to building PCs and picking parts, so that’s cool.
100% not what you are talking about.
That is a PC case of an enjoyable aesthetic.
Is that an insult or just a misguided attempt to help? How is a schizophrenic theory a piece of computer hardware?
100% misguided attempt, no offense intended and im sorry that i missed the mark that bad, for my part I'll say more in the future about why. I did think it was a long shot but that's exactly the kind of thing i could have included but didn't. i hope you track it down and again, so sorry, not my intention to insult or be rude or otherwise waste your time
No problem. I'm a bit sensitive on getting insulted, since insults is how a certain person communicates with me. I was raised on being insulted, so finding an aggressive subtext in a normal statement isn't a problem to me :)
And I'm like 90% sure the artifact has been identified: https://people.cs.pitt.edu/~zhangyt/research/micpro2017.pdf and https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.15577. Or if this isn't the thing, it's extremely close to the thing I remember.
But if you're a fan of schizophrenic theories such as the famed Time Cube, I know just the place.
What decade would this have been from?
"dark blue color"
"Tesseract was a perfect cube, all sides even. It had different components on different sides, exposed circuitry."
"It had circuits and other parts like a graphics card does, or a motherboard. The circuit board was a dark blue"
Was it some kind of PC, like the open frame PC cases that started in the... 2000s I want to say?
When CPU/RAM/GPU overclocking was a thing?
Completely different kind of computing architecture, i.e. not x86?
Maybe Steve Jobs' NeXT?
The pictures could've been just some prop or something. I don't know. Both articles I remember used the same pictures. I remember several photos from various angles. It was a new thing less than a decade ago. So 2010s would be the decade. It was definitely new kind of physical structure, but I'm not sure about actual computing architecture as in software side.

Stop using Google
No that's not it. It was like a cube. The articles I read showed pictures of it being like a dark blue color. This is not what I am searching for. But thanks.
And I don't use Google. I use DuckDuckGo and udm14.org
Wait like the one in Avengers movie? It's just like you described
No, not the one from the Loki show... It was like a computer. I don't remember exactly what it did, but there was a lot of hype around it. Well, maybe "a lot" is an over exaggeration, but there were news stories written about it. I remember reading at least two articles on two different sites.
Maybe it was a premonition or it already altered reality
How would it be a promotion? It looked nothing like it did in the MCU. It had circuits and other parts like a graphics card does, or a motherboard. The circuit board was a dark blue, I think.
Edit: Turns out I can't read. I read your comment as "Maybe it was a promotion or altered reality (as in ARG)". But no, I don't think that is the case. It's not like remembering a detail wrong, like with the Mandela Effect. I couldn't just have imagined reading several articles on a product. That's not how it works, I don't think.
One time I did some strong LSD and went online and saw news stories about my own death. I'm not saying you're wrong and honestly believe you, but just letting you know the stories can appear, but at least in my case, hopefully they weren't real. Let's say it was a premonition though, what companies should I invest in?
I'm just playing about the investment part, not the LSD thing though. Is this what you're thinking about?
Actually, that could be it. I remember reading something about improved latency and changes in physical computing architecture. I'm not 100% sure this is it, but it's definitely close to what I remember.
Well, I did not do any LSD ever, so I don't think that's it either. Interesting story, though.
Just to rule this out: are you certain that you're not confusing this 3D projection of a tesseract with some other news?
Or if you are certain that you saw hardware in a cube shape, did its design give you any clue why it was named "tesseract" - similar to this PC.
It was not a 3D render, it was a photo of a piece of hardware in the shape of a cube. Not cube-like, a cube with some parts sticking out. I'm like 90% sure it was mostly circuit board in deep blue. I don't think it was a PC per se, but definitely physical hardware. And the official name might not be "The Tesseract" but that's what all the articles called it.
