6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop?
Stuk writes "Research & development company AtomChip have announced a new 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD laptop, which is "coming soon". Apparently it does not use a hard disc, instead it is based on "solid state AtomChip® optoelectronics". A new "non-volatile Quantum-Optical" type of RAM is used. Other features include voice commands, "Num Lock mode, Caps Lock mode, Scroll Lock mode". They're spoiling us." If Nintendogs has taught me anything, it's that voice recognition is awesome and should be used for everything. *cough*. And also to be skeptical of this many buzzwords.
April is not for ages yet.
Maybe Duke Nukem Forever will run on it.
If you're not convinced, just check out the video http://www.compu-technics.com/images/solar memory.WMV.
Only an idiot would think that was fake. ARE YOU AN IDIOT??!?
And it only requires 1.2 Jiggawatts of electricity for the flux capacitor!
With all those powerhouse specs and without decent video, how am I supposed to play WoW on that?
- Just my $0.02, take with a grain of salt, your mileage may vary.
Will this finally allow me to run multiple programs on Windows XP? With that much ram it should be able to handle the ram-hungry Windows XP.
Of course, maybe by "TB" they don't mean tera-byte, but instead 'tiny-byte', a brand new term meaning really, really freaking small.

And a battery life of 3 seconds! Awesome!
The first time I read the specs here, I thought "Wow - Infineon are finally getting their new console specced up."
Then I realised it had nothing to do with them.
Strange how I confused a vapourware console with this.
I® for® one® welcome® our® new®...
I can't be bothered with this.

6.8 GHz, 1 TB RAM, 2TBHDD? Right. And Slashdot's only going to post this article once.
Their "dylithium crystal" based transceiver, at least the one on the left, looks really familiar...

It's the "NvIOpRAM 24GB [3-pin]", also known as the 1/4" to 1/8" gold-plated headphone adapter available at RadioShacks everywhere.
DNF is finished, but it's been rebundled as an exclusive release for Infineon's Phantom game console. They're waiting for the hardware to ship to customers... ;)
I do not fail; I succeed at finding out what does not work.
...that with every order will come with two strippers to entertain you while you set the machine up. I mean, c'mon, Taco, if you're gonna give us a nerd hard-on, at least include something naughty, too.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
The only reason I give this any credit is because the creator Shimon Gendlin has won multiple awards and unless he plans on retiring he would not make that bold of claims. On the other hand they claim the price will be $4.50 per GB of ram which is about the price of a pen with a light on it.

I own one of these beauties. It's parked next to my Phantom game console. I even have Duke Nukem Forever running between them on my 25 TB/s wireless network.
Just curious - how do you figure out the memory addressing with 32-bit pointers?
Oh, I wouldn't say that. I see Windows running on it and the one thing I have learned over the years is that Windows can suck the power out of anything.
For every advance in processor, disk and memory technology, a new release of Windows follows which ties more of it up. Heck when this thing starts up Windows probably fills up half the available memory (like it does on my 1.25GB desktop system) with DLLs and whatnot, whatever it can't find on the system disk it'll probably create just to meet expectations.
I shudder to think what Longhorn will demand of systems for minimum hardware.

Not true according to this quote:
"The new AtomChip® Quantum® II processor with 256MB on-board memory has a high speed with very low consumption of electrical energy."
It uses very little elecrical energy. What I have to figure out though is what other type of energy it uses. I'm suspecting bullshit or some other type biological energy source.
The Internet is full. Go Away!!!
unless he plans on retiring he would not make that bold of claims.
They certainly are bold claims. In fact, almost the whole damn site is in bold type!
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
Never mind the indecision between using commas (6,80 Ghz) and decimal points (1.00 TB), but according to Microsoft, the most physical memory a Windows XP Professional system can support is 4 GB (or 128 GB for 64-bit edition).
:-)
Well obviously they have a Quantum multi-core design, with eight cores each running XP Pro you get a TB of memory supported and the dialogue just adds it all up!
The whole comma/decimal point inconsitancy is a byproduct of the quantum design, which locks in actual characters used in a dialogue only when a user views the screen.

And it runs Longhorn!
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
They just forgot to mention the stats were for 1,000 units :)

This ought to be powerful enough to run Windows Vista at a usable speed I reckon.
For posting obvious nonsense at least three times in the last week, outside the humor section, and it not being April Fool's; CmdrTaco is hereby relieved of duty, and demoted to the rank of EnsTaco.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Do *NOT* observe the quantum chips. That totally ruins them.
Oh wait, I guess that technology isn't available yet.

No Seriously,
