....anyway, this tech is still really cool, and prolly is used right can blow SATA port speeds out of the park if they just find a way to increase the range even to a few inches.]]>Mar 7th 2010 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/Except that higher SATA speeds aren't going to do jack to speed up hard drive transfers. This is only for on-board interconnections that are just a few millimeters apart (chip to chip). There are already fiber technologies for external connections like TOSLINK (Fiber optic audio cable). This would probably be best used in area on a motherboard or other circuitry where chip to chip communication needs to be as fast as possible. An example being the communication between a processor and RAM modules. That connection would benefit greatly from this tech.]]>Mar 8th 2010 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/Mar 7th 2010 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/how do you know that guy is african american he could be french guyana, british, etc...]]>Mar 7th 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/Mar 8th 2010 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/ibm-keep-light-pulse-bandwagon-rolling-uses-em-for-chip-to-chi/
