IBM single chip 10GHz supercomputer
10GHz / 1 trillion operations per second.
Funded by DARPA.
Prototype elements by end of 2005.
Commercial release possible by 2010.
Being IBM / UT / DARPA, estimated performance and predicted dates are probably quite conservative.

So when are we getting the 10 GHz PowerBook!?!?

I think you'd need asbestos pants and possibly gloves to even operate that thing...
On the plus side, you can roast marshmallows over the keyboard while you code.
...I want one.
That has to come close to maxing out silicon no? Bring on the next gen of computers!
Autonomous powered munitions and devices. Intelligent imbedded weapons agents. Automatic personal self-defense and offense. Distributed information acquisition and analysis. Fast encryption/decryption.
VLIW = Very Long Instruction Word
Now I guess they should have banned me rather than just shut off posting priviledges, because kickaha and Amorph definitely aren't going to like being called to task when they thought they had it all ignored *cough* *cough* I mean under control. Just a couple o' tools.
Don't worry, as soon as my work resetting my posts is done I'll disappear forever.

We better see this chip in the PowerMac NEXT YEAR or I will be getting a DELL
CONFIRMED: I just ordered a dual 10Ghz PowerMac, it's supposed to ship tomorrow, but that's a different story.....

I recieved mine yesterday, but he refused to boot, i have to send it back to Apple. I phone to them , they said that they don't expect to send me back the computer until the next decade ...

My dad brought up an interesting point. G4's were only sold in the US for a while because the government considered a computer that could calculate 1 gigaflop a supercomputer and prohibited it's export.
Nope. There was never a time when the G4 was only sold in the US.
There are restrictions on importing certain types of computer to certain parts of the world, but no restrictions to Europe, Japan, and many, many others.
China has G4's, even though I heard some similar "too fast for export" rubbish at the time the G4 was released- with China being mentioned specifically.
I think much of this urban myth derives from the 'G4 with tanks' ad campaign.

Bring on the 10 GHz processor. There are always new real-time capabilities that can utilize the extra processing power.
