IBM Holey Optochip chip boasts super fast data transfer

IBM Holey Optochip chip boasts super fast data transfer

Just when you thought that your USB 3.0 connection is the bee's knees compared to USB 2.0, along comes IBM and their research team who has discovered a new way to transfer data, where it occurs at speeds of more data per second compared to just about any other method that is commercially available at the moment. Calling this transceiver the Holey Optochip, laser light is sent in as well as out of the chip, shifting data at a whopping 1 trillion bits per second. They might as well call it the Donut, since those 49 holes in there will provide safe passage for the laser beams to do their thing.
