IBM and Georgia Institute of Technology are experimenting with silicon- germanium, it is said here:
I find this interesting having just attended NANOG 37 where some manufacturers of network devices told us in a panel that network heat problems weren't going away unless there's a 'next big thing' in manufacturing process.
Is this it?
Sure doesn't sound like it. In fact, it sound like they're pushing to a high frequency regardless of the power and thermal consequences. It also sounds like it's a single transistor. It takes a few of them to make a router. ;-) I also suspsect that the community is not ready to transition to liquid-cooled systems. Tony
