Super-fast Transistors On the Way
nbannerman writes "The BBC is reporting about a new kind of transistor, that recently set a world record of 110Ghz. From the article: 'To achieve the speed gain, researchers at the University of Southampton added fluorine to the silicon devices. The technique uses existing silicon manufacturing technology meaning it should be quick and easy to deploy.' The apparent applications for this process include mobile phones and digital cameras."
added fluorine to the silicon devices
Not only will the transistors be faster, but whiter and shinier, they won't need to floss.

Couldn't they add some Lithium too?
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
Now that you posted the misinformation, Microsoft will raise their system requirements beyond what processors are capa.....
;)
On second thought, post all kinds of misinformation like this, then Microsoft will spec themselves out of business.
It's cheaper to pay a few top engineers to make faster hardware then to pay a mountain of top computer scientists to write stable, fast code.
Yeah, because if the cpu is fast enough, even unstable code works better!
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Truely now, how many people modded this insightful because they didn't understand it?
DYWYPI?
It's baboon not babboon, you buffoon.
