IBM super-fast chip boasts of transmitting high-definition movie in a single second
IBM recently claimed to have developed a super-fast chip, which boasts of sending out a full high-definition movie in a single second. The latest development is a breakthrough to make PCs quicker and more energy capable. The tiny chip was brought about by making use of current production techniques and functions by changing electrical signals to laser light, enabling it to pass on 160 gigabits of data per second.
Bernie Meyerson, chief technologist for International Business Machines Corp said,
We have worked out a way to ship almost inconceivable quantities of data at extremely low power. The amount of data you can generate on a chip is skyrocketing with the advances in the architecture and the technology itself. You are being gated not necessarily by your ability to generate data but in your ability to move the data on and off the chip.
The chip is not likely to be utilized for entertainment or telephone networks anytime in next to no time however is capable of tracing its course into the robust processors that op-erates server PCs within 3 to 5 years, maintained by Meyerson in an interview. Not only this the tiny chip also claims to save energy since it makes use of just 2.5 watts of power, almost one-third the quantity utilized by a night-light, and covers up just seventeen square millimetres.
