Just when you think you've got Moore's Law beat...

We still need to contend with Gates Law where the byte size and processing requirements of a given piece of software doubles every 18 months to achieve an equivalent outcome.

How long before Apple use it one of their products and claim to have invented it?

Graphical User Interface. Stolen from Xerox.

Where did Apple say they invented the GUI? Source please.
They made the first complete/commercial GUI. There's a difference.
Also, it wasn't stolen. Xerox invited Apple to view their work at the lab. Several Xerox employees left to continue work on GUI's at Apple. The prototypes at Xerox didn't have drop down menus or drag & drop.

With some proprietary connector crap.

pfff where's the 80 core chip they promised 5 years ago.

On your video card.

"The rate, about 6.25GB per second, would be enough to send an entire 720p movie in one second." Yes. If the HDD wasn't one of the main bottlenecks...

The answer if fairly obvious here. SSD
"As of July 2010, the Crucial SSD C300 series Solid State Drives is still one of the fastest consumer drives that money can buy in terms of read speed – at least if you can tap into its SATA 3.0, 6Gbps support

So why can't you watch a 4 to 8GB movie in ram only as long as you have 16GB or more installed? Like a ram preview in a video editor.

Perhaps this is where atomic storage comes into play? Using a processor with light, and atomic data for storage you could probably make it happen. Long ways away though.
@wassamatta you probably could but if the power is lost say goodbye to your movie :) I guess this is why we all need giant UPS devices in our houses.

Comcast will inevitably sell you this for 500 bucks a month, then deliver 300mb/s
angelbunnyJul 28, 2010
at a 250GB a month cap too
thephosphorboxJul 28, 2010
Sounds awesome, Intel never ceases to amaze me. Now we have to speed up our storage media so that 6.25GB doesn't run into a huge bottleneck when it reaches it's destination.

Wonders what would happen if they rubbed cheetah blood on it?

Am I the only one who read the word "photonics" and the first thing that popped into my head was the Doc saying "please state the nature of the medical emergency"?

6.25GB per second, imagine what your computer is going to be doing....
All I can picture is a little kid hyped up on sugar jumping around impatiently for the next thing to do.

It is interesting where the chip technology is today. But how about the inventor of the chip?

Mr. Jack Kilby is the first who came with idea of creating an entire circuit in a wafer.

We are getting to the point that it is useless (mostly) to make computers faster... not yet but this is close... like making TV's with resolutions higher than the human eye can see
