"This technology could also give engineers the freedom to place memory as much as a couple of feet away from a system's memory controller to facilitate new cooling systems."

Wooooowwwww....

In the meantime lets see if a better technology doesn't emerge and actually get adopted. :)

Why didn't intel use this tech to continue on the road down the netburst architecture as it relieves the heat related issues they were experiencing?

Ah yes, the old 5-10 years ploy. Back when I was the age of the average poster here (20+ years ago), inertial confinement fusion (a/k/a laser fusion) was 5-10 years away.

Take the motto of Damage's current home state quite seriously.

There is still the problem that non-silicon semiconductor is ridiculously expensive stuff as it's pretty rare and not pure.

I'm still hoping they can pull a rabbit out of the hat using Raman scattering to modulate the wavelengths that are produced to 1550nm. Intel apparently did this a while back.

Silicon Lasers and holographic storage. How exciting.

Awesome, I can get a system with this technology at the same time I can get an OLED display!
