I'm quite sure you don't have a clue what you're talking about. These Si/Ge devices are bipolar for high speed RF and other mixed signal applications. And I'm quite sure you have all the manners and social grace of a rabid dog... I'm also quite sure that you didn't understand the crux of the argument. The question isn't about the speed of the transistor... that's measured, clocked and perfectly acceptable. What is at odds is whether or not that is the fastest transistor yet produced. The article compared transistor speed to device speed. That's not a fair comparison. Today's transistors are much faster than the 1-2GHz the processors actually operate at... The article did a very poor job of differentiating...
