500 GHz

 

I want one!

Also, remember the bigger picture here:

 

(1) Technically difficult to get much faster but

(2) No competition in the performance field, so no need to overcome (1) and

(3) Already fast enough for current mainstream requirements, so not much demand-driven incentive either.

Here is the article you referenced. I read it the day it came out and have not heard a single word since. The Pentagon would be finished if this ever came to be wide spread. There is simply no other reason to have gone backward in chip technology. I say that because when we do not have progress in chip technology, we do not stay stationary, we actually go backward. And we have been going backward for about 10 years! Envy the content of this article cause you will never see it in your lifetime. Can you imagine coupling this with today's article that set the record of 700 Tb of memory in a single gram?
