SuperTaz Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 http://myscienceacademy.org/2014/02/16/ibm-promises-internet-400-times-faster/ A new technology from IBM promises hyper-fast and energy efficient connections to the Internet,as fast as 400 gigabits per second. Scientists in IBM Switzerland just unveiled a prototype tiny chip for an energy efficient analog-to-digital converter (ADC), that’s 5,000 times faster than the average U.S. connection, or 400 times faster than Google Fiber. This is fast enough to download a 2-hour ultra-high-definition movie (about 160 gigabytes) in seconds! The latest version of the chip, developed by IBM with researchers from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, is only a prototype right now and was presented at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco.
