<< Seems Motorola has come up with some new technology to ramp up the Megahertz on a processor to 70 Ghz. Motorola doesnt possess the ability to manufacture and market these chips so its going to liscence the technology out to Intel and probaly other companies. This is amazing and lets all hope it doesnt take too long for Intel to wrap this up and find the best way to use this new technology.
He said the discovery had the potential to transform the industry in a manner similar in scope to the invention of the first chips when transistors were placed on a single integrated circuit in 1958. These new chips could run at more than 70Ghz, compared with the 2Ghz speed of the best current chips. It has not been possible, until now, to combine silicon with III-V materials ? such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide ? as their crystalline structures did not match up and they could not be successfully bonded. Motorola has discovered a substance that can lie between silicon and the III-V material and fuse the two together. Motorola then turned to IQE, which is based in Cardiff, to develop the process.
Putting both materials on a single chip would make it more reliable and connections faster, as it cuts down distances >>
