I believe that the next great advancement in PC chip design will be the use of optical connectors instead of electrical pins.

“I believe that the next great advancement in PC chip design will be the use of optical connectors instead of electrical pins.”

The first few generations will still need eletrical power to drive the optical diodes inside of it.

But it will be cool, as light travels faster than electrons and you can have multiple frequencies of light over the same optical pin....
