Re: World's fastest transistor operates at 604 GHz

thanks whoa
anyways, i wonder whether or not they will be able to use these transistors in microprocessors, well, i mean you can use anything anywhere, try anyways, but i wonder how much heat these transistors produce when they get pounded on?
The other thing is that however the speed of the transistor can effect the performance of the processor, the lack of processors performance in large part is due to the idea of cache and the fact that current RAM access speeds are quite low compared to what would be ideal for a faster processor, ofcourse you can increase the size of cache, but i think that the concept of cache needs to get dropped all together, I think though that this will be very useful in the cell processor market, if the processors actually reach their theoretical maxims most of the time, upgrading the transistors will weild better and faster transaction speeds enabling for even faster theoretical maxims in the vector processors, as well as the main processor (since the lack of cache), still though there is a need for faster ram technology (a lot faster)...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
