HP Announces Revolution in Compting. Oxygen ions!

[Charlie Prime]

HP just announced the next evolution of computing.  Oxygen ions!

• 80 times less energy consumed.
  
  
• Photons (light) are used for processor to memory communication instead of electrons.
  
  
• 160 petabytes of RAM accessible in under 250 nanoseconds.
  
  
• 640 terabytes of data can be computed in 1 billionth of a second.
  
  
• Oxygen ions used to store information instead of magnetic hard drive platters or standard RAM chips.
  
  
• Processors can flip between binary 0 or 1 memory states in the picosecond range (0.000000000001 seconds), and require no energy to maintain the state in memory.
  
  
• A completely new open sourced operating system

Perhaps I will finally be able to upload my soul to my smartphone.

and I thought no one cared about that news here. I've watched the presentation online... Miners should be all over this 

2020 launch date.

160 petabytes of RAM accessible in under 250 nanoseconds.

This sounds pretty good. I wonder what price tag they'll put on it.
I think Satoshi's predictions were right, we're gonna see some crazy machines in the future

The ability of this technology could relieve people from ever having to work again. It seems like it works in a very similar way to human brain. Its like a network of independent neurons. Maybe intelligent robots aren't too far off.

Speed and high storage doesn't equate to intelligence.

Holy crap...Moore's law was peaking for silicon, time to bump to something else to maintain that improvement streak

Just finished watching the clip...time to buy some HP shares me thinks
