[OT] Finally 110GHz processor

[legacy-Unl1337]

say photorealistic computing here it comes

Infineon has taken what it claims is the world record for the highest clocked integrated circuit with a chip that operates at 110GHz - more than 34 times faster than the top-clocked Pentium 4.

The record was broken in the company's labs in Munich. Infineon got the chip running between ten and 30 per cent faster than rival offerings, it claimed.

The IC in question, a dynamic frequency divider, was produced using its Silicon Germanium bipolar process. Infineon claims the technology can be used to build chips that will be able to operate at up to 200GHz.

Of course, none of them are designed for computing applications - Infineon's SiGe chips are being developed for high-speed communications systems such as mobile phone base stations and microwave radio links, and high frequency applications like car anti-collision systems and ultra wideband (UWB) communications devices. ®

Holy sh**t, Thanks Chyron!

Did u post this in general forum as well?

[legacy-Cursed_Soul]

why r u so impressed?

we all know hat one day we will have 1 terrahertz proccies..
this is nothing new.

and btw, what the hell can we do with a proccy that has been cooled in a room where the temperature is lower than a person could live in?

hell, it probably uses chemicals that can kill you (they allready got mobos that use soem kind of nuclear-poisionus metal thats 100 times faster than gold and stuff, shouldve payed attention in class lol)

[Plumb_Drumb]

I must have missed that "Nuclear MotherBoards" class :bulb:

I am sure it would have helped a bunch with my Graphic Design degree

jk man.

i realize that there are many people here whose first language is not english, but what makes a metal faster? :bulb:
are you talking about heat conduction?

[legacy-Cursed_Soul]

Its like plastic, its a metal made of a new substance, 2 bad i have sold the books from last years college, or i couldve looked it up, all i know its a new kind of substance that makes electricity (data) go way faster, but when its heated by the electricity it eits some kind of low uv-kinda gass sh!t...

[legacy-Silent_Outlaw]

I would gladly be frozen, poisoned, mutated...whatever. If my processor could run that fast.

Umm...
Okay, maybe not to the extent of that.
