2 Ghz cellphones? ]]>Jun 20th 2006 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
It should also be mentioned that if the newer silicon-germanium tech is used, we could see 1 THz (yes, terahertz) processors running at ROOM TEMPERATURE

I'm curious as to the power consumption of these processors, and when we can get it in a cell phone :p]]>Jun 20th 2006 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
It looks like the blogs are just going to regurgitate each other this time around. So much for reading!]]>Jun 20th 2006 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
I guess we can still expect such developments in silicon based components to increase the speed of modern day processors...eventually.]]>Jun 20th 2006 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
Both of them take otherwise well-written articles, and proceed to completely cock them up with lame, jokey biases.

And it's tough for me to say that -- I'm no Sony-backer. Seriously, you'd do well to keep the unrelated rhetoric to a minimum.]]>Jun 20th 2006 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
Can't answer that directly. My involvement was with the development of the prior version of this transistor (the 200+ GHz version ... at room temperature ... that we first reported around 2002). While I've tracked how my colleagues have advanced the transistor to the present generation, I'm no longer directly involved except in measuring the RF noise properties. Also, only the device development along with measurements in the room temperature range (say, in the 0-125C range) were performed at IBM. The cryo testing was GT's part of the collaboration.]]>Jun 20th 2006 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
And I really hope that any of you don't tell me, "If you don't like it, don't read it!" That may be the lamest comeback that you could possibly use. My reasoning is that the site wasn't always this biased, and it's much more enjoyable when it's neutral as opposed to bashing the hell out of anything and everything.

The jokes are seldomly funny, so stop it! ]]>Jun 20th 2006 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
Put that processor in the Sidekick 3, and I guarantee Paris Hilton will say "That's Hawt"... shortly before bursting into flames. ]]>Jun 20th 2006 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/

Yeah, I too like to get the chores done before I mess around with cold gases too....]]>Jun 20th 2006 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7253]]>Jun 20th 2006 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7253"

You missed that the report claims a record for a silicon transistor (actually, a SiGe transistor, but the SiGe film is grown on Si and is fully compatible with Si processing). The report you quote is for an InP/InGaAs device. Such so-called "III-V" devices have always been faster than Si-based devices at any given point in time, but are much, much more costly to produce and can't be integrated nearly as densely due to much poorer yield.

You can produce a chip with mostly standard CMOS and several tens of thousands of SiGe bipolar transistors through into some critical performance paths for extra speed. You can't integrate an InP/InGaAs device into such a chip at all.]]>Jun 20th 2006 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/

There are plenty of people that aren't happy with the PS3 as it is right now, myself included, but I don't toss it into everything I say.

By the way, check your site traffic after posting one of these articles. I generally stop coming to engadget for a week or so after I see one of these unnecessary comments, and I'm sure a few other readers do, too.]]>Jun 20th 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/dude relax, you'll luve longer...
seriously its just a joke man. a it was a smalll one. At least its was vaguely related to the article, IBM is helping with the cell processor. but still it was just a joke.
blogs joke all the time so no big deal.
you dig?]]>Jun 20th 2006 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 20th 2006 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 21st 2006 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
500GHz processor....should run Windows Vista OK, and they propably be realised at the same time!!! ]]>Jun 21st 2006 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/It was only a joke - and a good one at that.
i'm still laughing. especially at all the uptight loosers who are getting their knickers in a knot.
heh heh heh]]>Jun 21st 2006 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 21st 2006 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 21st 2006 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/Jun 22nd 2006 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/
At the end of the day I fail to see how those words could have affected anyone, come on! are your shares in Sony falling at the speed of a raging meteroite because of what was written?

> Haha... didn't like that did you? > What? Of course im have a laugh.

This reminds of my early days when I was loyal to SEGA, could never speak bad of them infront of me, I can remember writing them a e-mail saying how I would become one of the richest men in the world just so I could help them with their dying console the Dreamcast (may it rest in peace). I eventually sold the console because I couldn't bear to keep it any longer especially when I found out that the same processors were going to be used in washing machines.

Well... I certainly hope they have a moderation facility and block this comment, I dont even know what I was trying to acheive, looks like it failed whatever it was. Should stop typing now but its sort of relaxing getting all these words of my chest, kind of makes up for the depressing day I had at work.

They wanted to cancel, They were in a contract... I told them but they didn't listen, They wanted to speak to a Manager, but there was none.... WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?!?

Seriously though If you've just read everything I have just typed you and me need some long sessions of counseling, If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them. ]]>Oct 4th 2006 1:05PM
