  6.8Ghz laptop with one TeraByte of non-volatile RAM.
Time: 16:45 EST/21:45 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Andre Da Costa

That's the promise of Atom Chip Corporation for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) held in Las Vegas in January 2006. The computer should demonstrate how Quantum and Quantum-optical devices could operate in consumer electronics. Without proper benchmarking, it is hard to tell if the "AtomChip" 6.8Ghz CPU is faster than current high-end competitors are. However, the solid-state drive that replaces the traditional hard disk should be orders of magnitude faster. If AtomChip can pull this off, it would be *huge*. More images after the jump.

Looks like the "6.8 GHz" is actually 4x1.7 GHz Pentium M's:

If the estimated retail price is correct, though, the RAM would definitely be a steal--$6000 for 1 TB. Now, how about that OS support? :)

Actually, it looks like there may be a separate processor product, but it's hard to tell from their site, and it seems more than coincidence that 1.7x4=6.8.

It is as a hoax as the alien autopsy...

They use RCA jacks to convey 6 GB/S data!!! This is as funny as it goes!

How do you post this news in this otherwise serious site?
