The 40Gbps space is problematic because that data rate generally applied only to telecom infrastructure. These components are low volume and high cost (for reasons other than the cost of the electronics, such as related to reliability under myriad adverse conditions). As a result, the cost of the electronics isn't necessarily the bottleneck. Silicon-germanium made major inroads into this performance regime several years ago (not with the photodiode itself but rather with transimpedance amps, laser drivers, etc.), with development partially driven with telecom infrastructure in mind. However, after the dot com bubble burst, a lot of overbuilt fiber remained dark and there was little demand by the telecoms for upgrading their switches and relays.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NameIsDavid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 2:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your point?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jltuttle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 11:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[40Gbits Internet?!?<br><br>I think I just got wet....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Platinum_Skeet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[That'll take less than a minute to hit Comcast's cap...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Salsa Shark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 3:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm guessing that this is some new way to use avalanche photodetectors because these things have been used in fiber optics for a long time now.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dBs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 2:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[I believe the benefit of THIS breakthrough is the performance of APDs build in regular Si CMOS, as opposed to the 'normal' optical semiconductors (indium phosphide for example, from the article).  The ability to manipulate optics on the same silicon as, say, a microprocessor is that you only need ONE sliver of Si.  This reduces the cost, size, power requirements, interconnect parasitics, and a whole host of other discrete-chip difficulties.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 7:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[It will save the internet!?!?!<br><br>...but I thought 4chan couldn't be destroyed!?!?!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dustandechoes91]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 4:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's opto-electronic 'breakthrough' could save this doomed Internet (or not)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/intels-opto-electronic-breakthrough-could-save-this-doomed-in/</guid><description><![CDATA[Engadget have missed the point. <br><br>It's for bigger CPUs, not for faster tinternet. <br><br>Intel have developed this to speed communication between processor cores.
