Exchanging information at 50 gigs a second. The_Muted_Grimaud Send a noteboard - 29/07/2010 10:51:46 PM
New silicon chips, built using lasers instead of copper wires, could push the speed up to 50 gigs a second, and that's 'just the beginning'. The article implies that a terabit per second speed is possible with this technology. (And it also mentions a petabit ... what the hell is a petabit?)

Two years, Intel says, to perfect the technology and manufacturing of the chips. That's perfect for me, I'll be done with grad school, and about ready for a new computer in 2-4 years. :)
Holy smokes!

peta = 1000 x tera or 10^15 *NM* moondog - 30/07/2010 02:02:31 AM 306 Views

Interesting. It doesn't sound like it has any application in long-distance data transfer though... lord-of-shadow - 30/07/2010 05:40:58 PM 867 Views
This is what intel is trying to do with Lightpeak Roland00 - 31/07/2010 03:36:58 AM 897 Views
