IBM Demonstrates 100GHz Graphene-Based Transistors

Silicon Valley may want to update its name, because IBM has created graphene transistors that blow away the silicon competition. The transistor prototypes were made from sheets of carbon just one atom thick that could switch on and off at 100 billion times per second. The 100-gigahertz speed is about 10 times faster than any silicon equivalents, Technology Review reports.
The transistor creation is supposedly compatible with existing semiconductor manufacturing, and so experts anticipate a scaling-up process that could put transistors into high-performance imaging devices, radar and communication gadgets within the next few years. Graphene-based computer processors might take another decade at least.

beberapa hari lalu nonton the big bang theory ceritanya sheldon lagi stuck mikirin formula graphene hehehe.. trus gue bingung graphene itu apaan sih?? ternyata baca2 engadget, ngebahas tentang graphene, material jenis baru yg bisa digunakan untuk prosesor sebagai penganti silikon

[yeahh...]

kalo dalam waktu dekat, bakal ada produk nyatanya gak ya??
emang apa sih gunanya transistor dalam high-performance imaging devices, radar and communication gadgets...

keliatannya bakal mahal...

prototy yg menyeramkan... kira2 berapa taun lagi yah desktop CPU bakal gitu???

mungkin kedepannya utk mampu bikin procie dng speed 100GHz kali ya ,,,,
