Yikes! :Q

In order for Windows XP and Linux to work properly with AtomChip®processor, some structural changes were made. Simultaneously eight identical copies of the Operational System (four for Windows XP and four for Linux) work in the computer. AtomChip®co-processor counts all packets of RAM and summarizes all occupied and free registers. All these innovations are covered with several new patents.

WTH? 4 WinXP running at the same time? Does that linearly or exponentially increase the oportunities for a BSOD. I bet Windows Updates are tricky. And with 4 copies of Linux running at the same time too. Gah, my brain hurts.... :Q

The real speed of the system is limited by the fact that the operational systems used in SG112 and SG220-2 have slow work speed compared to the capabilities of the new RAM and processor. However, today it is the fastest personal computer on the market!

Umm, ok, so what is the real-world speed? Any benchmarks?

If it does run even close to 6.8Ghz, I bet it can really punch out some WUs. I wonder if you could run 4 Windows clients and 4 Linux clients at the same time, and get fast results... Hmmm

🙂
 
Well with 8 OS's running, I don't doubt it could run 8 clients. I want to take one to try and see how well it does it 🙁
 
Well folks, you are pulling my - and everybody elses - legs - arent you?

SOLAR MEDIA CHIPS FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS
The Solar Chip is a Quantum-Optical non-volatile RAM, which uses electricity from a special Solar battery to record and read information.
The electricity output, which the Memory chip uses from a Solar battery, is very small. For instance, exposing the Solar battery to sunlight for
five minutes allows the chip to work for twenty-four hours. Signals for recording and reading of information are send to the chip by a laser beam
and can control the chip from a very big distance. The Solar chip is intended for memorization of an image, which is projected directly onto the
chip surface at a distance of up to four inches or through an independent optical system at large distances. The information can be read using
digital electric signals from pinouts or directly from the chip surface.

The Solar Chip has six designs: 512MB; 1GB; 2GB; 4GB; 8GB and 16GB.

The selling price for a Solar Chip is $750 per 1GB.

Sending info to the chip by laser beam? lol! over long distances? without scatter? ROTFLMAO!
The information can be read using digital electric signals from pinouts or directly from the chip surface. IGTHBOLTM! look here: http://atomchip.com/db4/00366/atomchip.com/_uimages/1TBram.jpg how do you use a laser? Through the label?

I have seen this posted here before...it's crap from what i read in the other post.

I will see if I can find that post and put it up.

If this is a hoax, they sure are taking it to the farthest extent of a hoax. Read this:
How stuff works

Holy crap, the guy that runs this company is Shimon Gendlin and he has applied for and gotten a U.S. patent for the opto-reading thingimabob. I tried reading through the description of the patent at U.S. Patent but it all sounds like mumbo jumbo. There is this curious bit in the patent description of how the new PC's utilizing his patent will no longer need a Disk Operating System...imagine that!!!!

Have fun reading.

Sounds strange, but why would they be listed as one of the CES 2005 Honorees?

CES 2005 Honoree

Computer Components, 3rd one down, under Compu-Technics Inc.

I agree, it seems funny. But I follow the innovations in computer technology and have not seen - heard - anything similar yet. So: either they are very secretive, or it is a hoax or nobody believes this stuff. Also: there are only pics, no demos (as far as I can see), no detailed descriptions. And that sounds fishy.

Do you think, that nobody would have picked up the news of a processor running at 6.8 GHz? or the superdense RAM? it sounds also non-sensical to run 4 instances of windows and 4 instances of Linux (which? nothing specified!) on one and the same processor.
What about cooling? What about energy dissipation? Does not higher frequency require higher voltage and thus more energy and more cooling? Is not that one of the big probs for Intel and AMD?

Before I believe in this I want to see an independent evaluation of the technology. If that turns up, I will apologise in this forum.

I prefer to err on the side of being too critical.
 
petrusbroder,
I think it is a fishy too, although I was surprised to find it mentioned in the CES 2005 Honorees. Unless they just use pics provided by Atom, and they are an honoree due to advertising/sponsoship $$ to CES.

I mean a 1 Terrabyte SIMM would make the news quick.

T T-Byte RAM

The PC/Server industry would be all over it.

Think of the music collection you could store in your IPOD with a SIMM like that! :Q



 
/Petrus now adopts a wait-and-see attitude - does not want to offend or antagonise anybody. Who believed in cars when the first one came around?/
 
There are a lot of things that happen that don't make the news. This stuff was on TV, that's how I found out about it.

No matter how much you follow stuff, you just don't hear about everything, no matter how cool it is. Did you know there are working air cars that are affordable?

From what I've read, it's nothing like what Intel and AMD do, which is why they can bypass the energy and heat problems. You just can't compare their technology with what we know now, it's entirely new. It's like comparing fiber a phone line. You can't run the phone line faster than what we do run it because it will melt! But somehow fiber runs super fast, imagine that? I bet people thought that was a hoax too!

Yes. And some of them were affordable (i.e. cost about double - three times of what a normal car costs) already in the 1960-ies. I have flown in a German model 1968. The problem there is not technology, it is the legal side of the transportation: you need a pilot's license - which is much more expensive to maintain than the driving license, you need a license (to fly) for the car and you need a safe starting- and landing place (not necessarily an airport). That is why air cars have not taken off. (Oh and the noise too - that was terrible! I very much hope that today's models are much more less noisy!)

No, what I am saying: based on the documentation provided on the 'net it very much looks like a hoax. And that is my opinion until better and critically reviewed documentation is provided. That is the scientific method: present a finding/fact/technology/break-through, let others reproduce it, critically review it, discuss it, turn it upside down, and then, when all is clear, then it becomes a fact of life, usable for all of us. I like the comparison with cold fusion though ... 🙂

Not my opinion , just theirs 😉

Well I no longer trust that publication, as they have proven time and again they are more interested than BS than PC. I have argued with their editor over a subject where we disagreed, and they later had to admit defeat in their magazine when another company proved them wrong. It doesn't seem like they are learning from their mistakes yet.
 
Reading the technical side of how it works makes sense to me. This is holographic storage, which isn't new, and has been in the news and publications. It's the next generation of storage, known to pack massive amounts of data into much smaller containers. This is not a hoax, this is where data storage is going right now.

I agree with Peter. I made the mistake of laughing at Google's supposed increase of storage space for their email to 1 GB when the standard was about 20 MB a few months back only to have to eat crow when the DID do it. So, now I try to read as much about the subject as I can and get independent evaluations before I believe it. According to this site , the writer claims that they presented their items at the 2004 CES. The writer, however is also skeptical about it because all they did was hand out brochures and show the labeled items that looked like ordinary stuff with labels on them and not a working model.
 
Well, whether or not it's real or hoax, the pricetag is way out of my league. :Q

So it's fun image what kind of crunching something like that will do. 😀

Thanks, Malak for the link. 🙂
 
it's BS IMHO 😉

Quantum Computing - yeah right... I know that's a subject for academics & theoreticians but come on, someone actually has a product out that is using it??? Not for another 5 to 10 years is my guess. If I am wrong then the world of cryptology is in for a shock.
 
Linky

A good read to understand how things like this works. You can find out a lot by just doing a search for holographic storage. Everyone is working on it right now.
