IBM Nanotechnology Transistor Faster than Silicon
Dustin Destree writes: "This article on MSNBC talks about how IBM has developed a new transistor based on nanotube technology that at its first stages outperforms even the fastest silicon transistor. Interesting read that gives ideas about where the computer industry is heading in the next few years."
Used more than three-hundred hours hoses your data
it just doesn't have quite the ring that "Silicon Valley" has, does it?

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain.
"The carbon nanotube...is the strongest fiber in nature and 10 times stronger than steel."
Faster, more powerful... in the next round of tests perhaps we'll find out it reacts poorly when in the vicinity of kryptonite.
100,000 thinner than a human hair? Can anyone tell me what that is in nm/pm ?
Currently we are working on a 1,000,000th the size of a cow process to make our chips.

Watch IBM patent this tech and send it careening towards another MCA-type failure....

Your points labeled "first", "second" and "fourth" all seem valid, but the third one...
do not read this line twice.
I've heard of the company this guy works for. Their products are a load of crap.
obviously, the guys working at IBM have thicker hair.
An interesting quote from the article...
The small (size) is of course very important, but it is a little bit overhyped. It is really the performance we are after," said Phaedon Avouris, manager of nanoscience and nanotechnology for IBM Research.
Who says size doesn't matter? As long as the electrons are satisfied!
