IBM researchers have built a prototype chip capable of 1 Tbit/s speeds using Holey Optochip technology...

The chip uses just 4.7 watts to process almost one trillion bits per second, enough bandwidth to download 500 HD movies at a single time.

What's a single time?

It also measures in at just 52m by 5.8mm.

Just? That's pretty massive for a CPU.

Lol, was just about to post that myself

Its probably 52mm or 5.2mm.

sure that 52 nano meters? but hell i wouldn't mind having one

LOL, unlikely to make it to the laptop market then?

Please let them license it for mass production!! low power usage AND super fast, will the manufacturers now build a "Ultra light power book" or something - you know how they like making new classes for laptops....

was looking forward to a 52m computer again

From power up to power down?
