Faster, cheaper, betterby Claudia Sonea

Intel has done it again! in 2004 the giant company released the 1Gbps modulator that is made of silicon, and encodes data onto a beam of light at the rate of 1Gbps. In a recent blog they have announced the speed they are heading to set and the entire concept of the product. The new technology is to be set at a rate of 40GBps. The photonic circuit may represent a solution for optical communications and to computer interconnection. Silicon attracts investors because of the low cost and the ability to be produced in high volume. The blog contains the actual process of the modulator that is based on twenty-five hybrid silicon lasers on a single chip that opens the door to greater speeds than anyone has ever dreamt.Also it uses optics fiber in order to have a greater bandwidth and to carry data further than copper, this way reducing the energy used. In January this year, they have released a new silicon optical modulator using a speed of 10Gbps and they want to get to a speed of 40Gbps in the nearby future. Great news indeed. It's faster, cheaper and better. Sounds like an ad, but the truth is that Intel is doing a great job and that is why they still can be considered number one and regarded as pioneers in the entire computer market. That is my opinion. Like the brand and a promising future for them. Anyway if it's faster count me in...because speed makes my blood pumping.
