500 GHz IBM Chip Breaks Speed Record
June 23rd, 2006Researchers at IBM and Georgia Tech said Tuesday that they had created the first silicon-based chip capable of operating at speeds of over 500 GHz. The processor beat the previous speed record by 125 gigahertz, and is some 125 times faster than today’s fastest chips.
500 GHz??? That’s insane! What would you use a 500 GHz chip for?
