When do you think there is a processor with the speed of 1Thz (TerraHertz).
I think in 3 years. Maybe a bit less/more

Well, i found an article about this on intels site
ftp://download.intel.com/labs/eml/downl ... tunity.pdf
It talks about Moore's law: Moore's Law states that the transistor density on integrated circuits doubles every couple of years. This exponential growth and ever-shrinking transistor size result in increased performance and decreased cost.
What began as an observation has become a compass and engine, setting the bar for the semiconductor industry and producing an expanding universe of new applications and opportunities.

They're talking about a 20Ghz in the near future

What's a Thz then, 1000 Ghz ?
Then i think this is for 10 years or more

I think it will be at least 10 years. By the end on next year I think we'll be at at least 7GHz. Intel have a 3GHz out now and there making them quick! Anyone heared of hyperthreading?

I think i saw that on the intel site, they're now at 3.2 Ghz

Yea. You can't buy that yet though.

I can buy a 3.6 Ghz intel now.

So I say about ten years for 1 THz

It only took what, 15 years to go from around 8Mhz to 1 Ghz.

My first PC about 15 years ago was a Commodore PC10-2 at 8Mhz with 256k Ram and a 5 Mb hard drive. I was the envy of everyone.

Yes.. but its exponential.... It doubles every (2 or 3 years.. ?)
So It should go a lot faster now..

time will tell, if everybody is here in a few years, then we can compare our pc's with what we have now !

lol, 200,000 MHz Mega Mainframe with 16,777,216 MB of GFDTTEVR Ram and a 20 TB hard disk

Post by **orudge** » 25 Nov 2002 17:32

16.7TB of RAM and only a 20TB hard disk? Make it 5PB at least.

(PB = petabyte. Do a search for petabyte, exabyte, gigabyte, etc, on HowStuffWorks.com for a list of capacities, right up to yottabyte!)

CombatGold1 · Post by **CombatGold1** » 25 Nov 2002 17:38

5 pb? lol thats less than 1 buyte. Look below

T = 1,000,000,000,000
G = 1,000,000,000
M = 1,000,000
K = 1,000
Nothing = 1
m = 0.001
u = 0.000.001
n = 0.000.000.001
p = 0.000.000.000.001 <<--- You said this!
f = 0.000.000.000.000.001

Um, no, I said PB, which is a lot more than a terabyte! Didn't you look at the HSW article I told you to? How Bits and Bytes Work:

Name - Abbr. - Size
Kilo - K - 2^10 = 1,024
Mega - M - 2^20 = 1,048,576
Giga - G - 2^30 = 1,073,741,824
Tera - T - 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776
Peta - P - 2^50 = 1,125,899,906,842,624
Exa - E - 2^60 = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976
Zetta - Z - 2^70 = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424
Yotta - Y - 2^80 = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176

1 PB is 1000 TB. About

we can do our maths

Sorry...

yes indeed, they can express so much with so little words

1YB is 1024ZB. 1ZB is 1024EB. 1EB is 1024PB. 1PB is 1024TB. 1TB is 1024GB. 1GB is 1024MB. 1MB is 1024KB. 1KB is 1024 bytes. 1 byte is 8 bits.
