Petabit Ping!....................
Absolutely astonishing! I worked in the optical networks division of Nortel Networks for a while right before the tech crash in 2000. It was a wild time. The industry was laying cables with 1,000 strands of fiber and we were lighting only a few 10 Gbps DWDM channels on each strand. There was huge unused capacity on the one lit strand. Performance had gone up many orders of magnitude and prices came down a few orders of magnitude. The market got oversaturated very quickly and the whole industry went BOOM after that build-out. Here we are 22 years later and trucks for competing companies are laying last-mile fiber everywhere around Coeur d’Alene, pushing fiber to the home.
Who is going to use petabit networks? For what applications?
It’s amazing how fast tyrants will be able to spread a monumental volume of lies and gaslighting in one second.
Petabits of data and not one tiny bit of truth blowing across the Internet every second.
Lotus Notes will stop it cold.
What’s the per month charge for this type of service?
Can I bundle it with my cell service too?
Is there fiber that can propagate that bandwidth without so much group delay that the data cannot be recovered after a short distance? It is impressive, but there may be more problems to solve.
And all that traffic consisted of cat videos.
Comcast will still have you holding for an hour
I’m also thinking Elon Musk will love this for his Starlink satellite internet. Forget fiber, the satellites will use this to talk to each other in orbit.
Can you read it? Can you process it?
That’s a lot of pr0n.
Where was this tech back in the 1998 when I first joined FR. All of those days where the site would freeze because of some big breaking news story.
Now, like then, if this site is down, there is/was nothing on the internet worth reading.
Data testified in the episode of "Measure of a Man" that
"My total linear computational speed has been rated at 60 trillion operations per second."
How does this new chip measure up?
You might be surprised on what you can do with only 10mbit including streaming
My bills are high enough without wasting money
Wow, this means we can watch cute cat videos at 100 million HD.
Any word on how this chip is cooled?
I can still run faster, in my new gym shoes...zzzzzzoom.
Help me here...
So you put the chip on a compatible motherboard. You get a super duper harddrive etc. You pump 220 volts into it, and my question is how do you keep it cool?
5.56mm
Wow, it even puts dial-up to shame. ;^)
