IBM unveils super-fast chip Performance is three times faster than fastest Intel chip NEW YORK, Feb. 4 - International Business Machines Corp. Wednesday announced that it has built and tested a super-fast computer chip that operates about three times faster than the fastest Intel Pentium. However, the chip isn't expected to be commercially available for at least two to three years. The 1000 MHz chip contains one million transistors and was developed using IBM's existing 0.25-micron CMOS 6X technology. The microarchitecture, circuits and testing techniques resulting from this project will eventually be applied to microprocessors using IBM's recently introduced CMOS 7S "copper chip" technology. msnbc.com Looks like copper circuitry is coming on fast. o~~~ O
