Sun Unveils Direct chip-to-chip Interconnect

mfago writes "On Tuesday September 23, Sun researchers R. Drost, R. Hopkins and I. Sutherland will present the paper "Proximity Communication" at the CICC conference in San Jose. According to an article published in the NYTimes, this breakthrough may eventually allow chips arranged in a checkerboard pattern to communicate directly with each other at over a Terabit per second using arrays of capacitively coupled transmitters and recievers located on the chip edges. Perhaps the beginning of a solution to the lag between memory and interconnect speed versus cpu frequency?"

OT: Why register for /. but not NYT?

BTW: I didn't RTFA since it requires (free) reg.

You feel strongly enough about registering at the NYT to mention it in your interesting post, but you registered for Slashdot where registration isn't required for reading articles or even posting. Just curious - what's the difference?
