These new chips could run at more than 70Ghz, compared with the 2Ghz speed of the best current chips.

You mean, I could run two Counter-Strike servers at once AND play in one of them?

Yes, I'd like a multicore GaAs G5 in my Mac please.

What can we do with a 70 GHz personal computer?

HMMM!

Sorry to rain, but Motorola is a Commie Company in bed with China, huge. Their HQ is out here in Schaumburg and they are smoke nazi's too. They kicked smokers out, then off the lawn, then into their cars, then driven off the parking lot. Then, all the employees were coming back 20 minutes late from a 10 minute break. Their CEOs are fat-cat democrats just back from Beijing. The only good thing is that our military is wired with their best equip., but that may not really be such a good thing afterall.

[Hank Rearden]

These will enable applications such as streaming video to mobile phones.

Yeah, that's useful. Can't wait. < /sarcasm >

[Texasforever]

Yeah, that is the same category as a solar powered flashlight.

Figures high tech stuff wouldn't be made in the USA. Too many dumbass so-called "conservatives" support "free trade" idiocy that makes communists technical powerhouses while our people flip burgers and sweep floors. Hell, we're even importing high tech workers from third world countries because our people are allegedly too "stupid" to do those jobs. Yeah right. The imported workers are here because employers don't want to pay decent salaries, not because our people are morons. Americans; lied to, ripped off, and sold out by our own. Our competitors are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank.

[Darheel]

Oh, I believe in free trade, but it must exist within the 7 rules of a free market, Adam Smith. These rules do not exist with a Communist nation that owns everything, is centrally planned, and is a ruthless, thuggish political bully. To believe we can have free or fair trade with a communist country is to be a political lightweight, or a damn traitor.

[NeonKnight]

What is wrong with a private American Co. making money off of communists? I know that 12% of Motorolas business comes from the Chi-Coms, I just don't see a problem with it. They have never been accussed of transferring prohibited high technology.

btw...I worked at Motorola in Schaumburg up until about a year and a half ago. The no smoking ban must be relatively new, as it was not incorporated while I was working there. They had a real nice smoking room. Perhaps it started durring the big layoffs a few months back.

[aruanan]

I'd rather work on multi-proccessor systems.

Isn't this like comparing four or five Ataris linked together to a top of the line G4 (or whatever is the PC equivalent)? I'd rather work on a 70 Ghz multi-processor system.

What can we do with a 70 GHz personal computer?

What was it Gates was supposed to have said about...hmmm....was it RAM?

[Poohbah]

With a 70GHz computer...anyone wanna play Quake XXXVIII?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Reports of the death of Moore's Law have been greatly exxagerated.
