So IBM has a 110GHz chip that is being made in shipping quantites (or at least they claim it could be if they wanted.)

What does this mean for the world of graphics chips? Could it be that Apple and IBM are both working with these chips? Imagine the GFlops one of those things could pull...and with whatever IBM's vector unit is...imagine the effects they could pull off with one of those things...Macs would become the ultimate gaming machines...

can you put a link to wherever you got this information because it doens't sound a tad bit realistic

Guys, the chips are going to be used in switches, and are probably pretty simple, when compared with processors.

Is there any evidence that this technology could find its way into processors any time soon?

What is this.. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

I think you have the wrong idea about this processor.
