Magnetic Fields Can Make Computers 500x Faster

[nathan]

The University of Bath is to lead an international £555,000 three-year project to develop a system which could cut out the need for wiring to carry electric currents in silicon chips.

Computers double in power every 18 months or so as scientists and engineers develop ways to make silicon chips smaller. But in the next few years they will hit a limit imposed by the need to use electric wiring, which weakens signals sent between computer components at high speed.

...and there i was thinking if i put a fridge magnet on top of my P4 it would go 500x faster

But seriously, this sounds like a good way forward - and i'm all in favor of a 500x faster pc

I can make your comp go about 900,000 times faster with magnets too!

I call it a rail gun.

bah, hurry up wth optical/laser technology already

Can i borrow it what you done?

lol me too.....anyways this is good news, any news that relates to speeding up pc's is good news.
