3D Computer Chips Could Be 1,000 Times Faster Than Existing Ones

[froggyboy604]

ST. LOUIS — A new method of designing and building computer chips could lead to blisteringly quick processing at least 1,000 times faster than the best existing chips are capable of, researchers say.

The new method, which relies on materials called carbon nanotubes, allows scientists to build the chip in three dimensions.

These are some pretty fast computer chips.

I knew it that there will be a breakthrough in computer technology that will drastically improve everything in the next ten years. Just think at what we used to have in the early 2000s and what we have now. I can hardly wait for these chips to be mass produced.

I feel like we could be even more advance than this, but tech is purposely held back in order to make more sales.

There is also a risk of selling tech which is defective, and harms the buyer like older Apple, Dell and Sony Laptops with exploding Lithium-Ion batteries, so a lot of the time companies need to test their stuff for a long time to make sure they are safe to use before selling them to buyers.

I'm not talking about defective items, I mean like holding back the power of a device. I read a good theory about year ago at how TB should be storage standard instead of GB. But they delayed GB storage so they could make more money, ect. ect.

I agree, companies sometimes hold back power of a device to make more money. But, I think this does not always work, and cause them to lose money if some other company releases faster devices faster than them.
