  Israeli Processor Computes at Speed of Light
Time: 11:59 EST/16:59 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Robert Stein

The company's prototype is fairly large and bulky but when Lenslet begins to supply the processor in a few months it will be shrunk to 15 x 15 cm with a height of 1.7 cm, roughly the size of a Palm Pilot. "In five years we plan to shrink it to a single chip," project manager Asaf Schlezinger said.

Does this mean that the G5 is no longer the fastest processor in the universe?!? How could that be? ;-)

If this is true... this could be the next "big break-through" in computers. If they can refine the technology to get this cheap enough for people to use it, computers as we know them will change dramatically. Intel should be scared, or have the checkbooks wide open to buy it :)

Also, does anybody think this will provide more longevity and less heat as compared to current chips?

lol, Baarod

That's what happens when you get unplugged from the MACtrix

gg: Quantum computing is still, quite literally, more than a lifetime away. At the same time, the optical processors will be viable within the not too distant future.

Besides the fact that quantum theory is based on the duality of light (it is both a particle and a wave).
