Well, what do you say for 6.8GHz processor with 256MB on-board memory? Or if that's not fascinating, how about 256GB memory with the physical dimensions of: length- 10mm, width- 4mm and thickness- 4mm??

Let’s hope that price will not kill this technology!

:blink:
I want one of those sometime.

Holy blazing nightmare on a stick!

Never mind the question about price....

click here

Expected price is 17.5K and 18.5K. :ranting:

Laptops with 1.5TB and 3TB of memory and storage and fascinating 6.8GHz processor.

And according to them, battery should last loooong... :blink:

Mass production came to mind... LOL

Maybe we have to wait just a couple of years... in the meanwhile I'm starting to save money...

April fools allready?
This smells like a hoax if you ask me... :bleh:

I don't think it is a hoax.

Absolute garbage. It was ripped apart by OSNews and Slashdot 4 or 5 months ago.

In summary,

• The photos of the "optical connectors" and other components are pictures of commonly available electronics components available at your local RadioShack. The "revolutionary optical connector" is actually a headphone adapter.
• The claims of 2TB of RAM (claimed 100GB at CES 2005, which doesn't make a damn bit of difference) is absolutely absurd. 32b chips are absolutely limited to 4GB of memory and 64b chips are limited by Windows XP-64 to 128GB. There are hardware extensions which support addressing more memory on 32b processors, but the upper limit comes no where close to 2TB. AMD64 processors are capable of supporting multi-TB memory sizes, but as mentioned before: no version of Windows XP supports that.
• The guy responsible for all this has pulled similar hoaxes before (covered in the /. discussion, also available with a quick Google).
• There are numerous claims on the site which are complete technical garbage. For example (as noted by someone on /.): a 4-processor system is not equivalent to a 1-processor system clocked at product of the speeds of the 4 processors. That is to say, a system with 4 1.7ghz processors is not equal to a 1 6.8ghz processor system.
• They apparently made this world-changing CPU x86-compatable or they convinced MS to port Windows to it.
• The battery would be just as revolutionary (powers 4 pentium 4 mobiles for 3 hours) which means that they have revolutionized not only CPUs, RAM, and solid-state mass-storage; but also now batteries.

...and the list goes on. B.F.D. if CES gave them an award as this guy has invested a *ton* of money in this hoax (all the patents -- which also prove nothing -- and so-on) and he had a pretty booth. This itty-bitty startup didn't magically change reality and in doing so beat out Crucial, Intel, AMD, IBM, and all the universities in the world researching these areas.

[Edit: corrected some numbers]

I don't call it a "hoax", but just a look in the future not so far...

Come on people that is a 100 percent hoax.
