Faster internets.

CUDOS has developed its research prototype chip one year ahead of its deadline and has managed to achieve data transfer rates of 640 gigabytes per second



This is a very, very fast switch and it's going to allow networks — the existing fibre in the ground — to move more data without increasing costs


This thing looks awesome.

Stinks how there isn't a image, though.

[Dan]

I've heard of this already. It's going to be so much money.

[Dragon]

That just proves to you that whatever you know now is really two years of old information.

Awesome, but I don't look at that much porn.

[LizardRob]

This still wont meet my porn needs. Work harder, CUDOS.

But really, this is great. Nobody will need an internet connection faster than that for at least 5 years, and because they don't need to rewire everything in the ground, it won't increase the cost of internet too much.

[Freddy]

So long as it doesn't make things any more expensive, it could do really well.

And I thought 100 Mbps was fast.

[SitarFreak]

I thought the Japanese got 65 Mbps...

Why are they always ahead of us?

[fruitycaker1]

It's a smaller country so it's easier to wire internets.

[*blank*]

Wire I thought everyone used tubes.

[Woolfenstien]

It's a smaller country so it's easier to wire internets.lol, england

we have terrible internet. at least we beat france

[denacioust]

We have terrible internet here too. When it came here we averaged slower than dial-up because we 'live near water'

So what, your 56k is like, mailman with a broken bike?

[denacioust]

...bike?

[SitarFreak]

What, you expect the post office to be able to afford cars?

[denacioust]

...cars?

[Matt]

ROCKET FUEL PROPELLED JET SKIS!
<.<

Nah ours uses a truck thingy.

[denacioust]

Ours walks. We only get delivered post once a month.

[waggles v2]

*shock horror*

We better get decent limits with it then. I think people would go through 10GB in a couple of days.

[tigerx102]

640GB/sec internet bandwidth? :o

That's like 130 DVD's or 700 CD's a second. It poses the same question as to how much computing power you really ever need: there's never enough, but what will you do with all of it?

[Stuntman]

What sucks is that we will get so used to it, we'll still think some downloads take too long.
"Delivery says it'll take 5 to 6 seconds."
"More like 7."

[denacioust]

Yeah, right enough. Anything less than immediate wouldn't be good enough.

[Dan]

I want my porn running at full force. <_<

I think this is more of a commercial application to large organisations like schools and things.

I doubt anyone needs over 600 gig for there own use.

That's what I saw in another web page that I forget the link to. It's going to be a lot of money. Us simple folk won't be able to afford it.

[denacioust]

Yeah, us simple folk might have to stick to 300gB a second.

[Dan]

Yeah, us simple folk might have to stick to 300gB a second.

With our iced coffees, and text messaging.

With my ####ty Wireless-G, I only get 24MBps, and that's at best.
