1THz (1,000 GHz) Computers Coming Soon? - tech|
| (hx) 10:08 PM CEST - Jun,23 2004 | | Yahoo!
News news has a story on tiny transitors that will speed up computers
and cell phones in a big way. UCI's Peter Burke has shown for the first time
that transistors made from single-walled carbon tubes only a few nanometers wide
operate at extremely fast microwave frequencies. A nanometer is one billionth of
a meter or about 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. For
cell-phone and computer users, Burke's discovery could mean speeds up to "1,000
times" what they are today, said American Chemical Society spokesperson Jason
Gorss, whose organization published Burke's research in the journal "Nano
Letters." estimate that the theoretical speed limit for these
nanotube transistors should be terahertz (1,000 GHz), which is about 1,000 times
faster than modern computer speeds," Burke said. According to article, a
prototype nano-transistor may be available within two years. |

that would break moores law.. thats not good :P |

| madda | (11:22 AM CEST - Jun,24 2004 ) | | ohhh, a terahertz PC, now we're talking. gimme gimme! :0 |

| lucas | (06:15 PM CEST - Jun,25 2004 ) | | that article title is retarded and misleading. the article itself states "Jason Gorss... estimates that the theoretical speed limit for these nanotube transistors should be terahertz (1,000 GHz)". wow! some guy estimates the theoretical limit (re: in a perfect world with no manufacturing flaw, at a temperature of absolute zero) of a new transistor is 1000 GHz and the next minute were getting told 1THz pc's are coming soon. talk about sensationalism |
