Reasonably fast but very cold at 4.5 kelvin

Will it get over 100 fps on FEAR though? :shock:

only 1 transistor though.....

You have to start somewhere

Does that count as 0.5 Thz? (wiki)

yes, its half a tera hertz.

If they manage to pull off a working processor at these temperatures, think of what it could do. Like compute decimals of pi and weather forecast....woohoo :D :P

that roughly translates to a 50GHz chip....not bad

besides, i thought they had a 608(?) GHz trannie?

How? I thought it was 500ghz

Surely this is radio frequency and not cpu cycles?

DailyTech: IBM and Georgia Tech Push Transistor to 500GHz

"Using a transistor printed on a silicon wafer laced with germanium the researchers were able to develop a transistor that clocked in at around 350GHz at room temperature."

:D

604GHz trannie

and the 50ghz was inferred from this

Quote:
Feng said 382-GHz transistors ultimately will yield 38-GHz microprocessors. That's more than 10 times faster than the fastest processors built into computers sold today, which are 3-GHz. When Feng started this research in 1995, the fastest transistors were clocked at 180 gigs.

Which, as inferences go, is pretty dodgy....but it made sense when i posted it

then again, it could be one of those odd things where 604 really means 246

:?

my brain hurts....
