Intel Devises Chip Speed Breakthrough
Chad Wood writes "According to the New York Times (free reg. req.), Intel has demonstrated a research breakthrough, making silicon chips that can switch light like electricity. The article explains:''This opens up whole new areas for Intel,' said Mario Paniccia, a an Intel physicist, who started the previously secret Intel research program to explore the possibility of using standard semiconductor parts to build optical networks. 'We're trying to siliconize photonics.' The invention demonstrates for the first time, Intel researchers said, that ultrahigh-speed fiberoptic equipment can be produced at personal computer industry prices. As the costs of communicating between computers and chips falls, the barrier to building fundamentally new kinds of computers not limited by physical distance should become a reality, experts say.'"
My 75Mhz SuperSPARC II is faster than any silly AMD box you could ever get. AFAIK

The question we all want to ask but are too politically correct...so I'll do it.
Why is Europe Following America Yet Again?
Why is it that all technology gets created in America? Why?
Europe likes to tell us that America ranks 18th (or whatever it is) in world science and math rankings. So why isn't Europe leading the way in technological innovation?
Since Europeas are so clearly more intellligent than anyone else in the world (can't help laughing as I type that), then clearly something else is the problem.
Is it Europe's political system? Its economic systems?
Yes and Yes.
Europe is slowly on a course for irrelevance.
Here, dumbfuck, peel the numbers off your sorry face.
You're the anonymous coward who can't buy computers just to see if they're any good. You're the worthless shiteater.
He's using _amarican_ english, asswipe.
Also, he has a point. I haven't had any vacation in four years, and I work my ass off.
I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it!
