500 Ghz
IBM & Georgia Tech have gotten together and created a single 200mm platter. What makes this platter so special is how insane the accumulated speed is. They were able to maintain a constant speed of 500 Ghz at a temperature of 4.5 degrees Kelvin. Yeah, considering how 0 degrees Kelvin is absolute zero, I'd have to say that the clock speed is not only a record, but a feat of technology as well. Cryogenically cooling a piece of hardware can't be easy.
With clock speeds of 500 Ghz, why don't we use platters instead of single or dual-core processors?

A single platter is far too expensive for consumer use. That's why the government purchases them and sticks them into their systems. Their processors aren't the only component worth coveting either. They have over 50 PB of storage at their disposal.
Well, when you think about it; it makes sense; doesn't it?
holy cow its liek a gient processor onklly it liek does more stuff then yer average cpu but it liek gets uber hot so ull never need internal heating :o
:P yrah lol good point. In order to operate a piece of technology such as this you'd need more money than the average guy has to spend on leisure. So I'd suggest just waiting for other processors to become affordable.
Lol, by then, those platterz will have been reduced to a single core. If my theory is correct, then all computerz will be reduced until the whole thing can be surgically inserted under a fingernail and using the excess power generated by the brain, while at the same time interfacing directly to the brain, we will have the first Truly UMPC that is so power efficient that it uses mebbe 3millivolts, and uses the unused brain area for its harddrives/processor.
In my last post, my theory would take at least 50 years to perfect, but in the end, it all narrows down to "How small and efficient can we make it?"
