IBM is ready to produce a chip at 110GHz, using Silicon-Germanium technology. It's a networking chip (boo), but the technology could be applied to other semiconductors as well (yeh).

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Hey, a switch with a 110GHz processor (even at 1/2 IPC) would give some pretty decent performance. I wouldn't mind owning one of those.

For the low price of $500,000, you <i>can</i> own one!

It would make DOS games very interesting.

I suppose a 200W PSU and a coolermaster HSF is hoping a little too much?

Hey!!!

I've had a great idea.

Why don't we all chip in an equal amount, and get one for a dedicated THGC server!!!

That should speed things up a touch.

Yes I could just imagine web pages opening so fast!!
Oh yeah why not put it commercial, EVERY one will want a 110GHZ to open his e-mail faster!

This is not a general all-purpose CPU, so it probably would not do well on most general applications. It is fine tuned for communications and uses a proprietary instruction set. Even if it supported the IA32 instruction set, I would be surprised if it ran DOS applications as fast as modern IA32 processors, such as a Pentium III or 4. ;)

It's not the processor, but the materials and production technology, that I find interesting. This type of technology could pave the way towards super-fast CPU's in relatively short order! Too bad it will probably too expensive for desktop CPU's, but servers and workstations could benefit imensly.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

lol, yes, if it was a CPU I think it would draw a little more than that.
