That link shows a very small image of the CES, with a logo of HP, I don't see atomchip on that image. Like this, even I can claim I was there.

However, this is more convincing:
http://www.cesweb.org/attendees/directory/rd_exhibitor_details.asp?...

I have 2 theories:
1) Hard drive+memory+processor companies paid him huge load of money no to produce his stuff.
2) This technology does not exist.
Otherwise we could see this at work. Why they are not showing it in public ?

BTW: I can also take Pentium IV CPU, put it in some package and call it Quantum CPU, and then file patent applications.

I think that they'll release it when Duke Nukem Forever is released

Yes, you can dismiss it out of hand.

It's pure crap. Just take a close look as some of those pictures, and you'll quickly realise they're not just pulling your leg, they're cutting it off.

1TB of "quantum-optical" ram? sure...

enough of the crappy pictures, where are the working prototypes, eh?

No, this is crap, and everyone with a lick of sense caught that the first time around.

1TB of "quantum-optical" ram? sure...

And why not?

It is not technically impossible to build that ( though there will be technical problems to overcome during manufacture of course). Whether they have a demonstratable prototype or not is a different matter.

However, I expect NRAM to outclass this as its based on nano tubes and electron spin so it should be considerably cheaper and easier to make whilst having similiar charecteristics and densities to quantum optical ram. Mulitple manufacturers are alredy building such NRAM devices so competition too should drive the price of NRAM right down.

Okay, it's not technically impossible that just I built a mini-blackhole out of a quasispace canopener and a pair of RCA plugs, either.. but it is damn near 0%.

That's pretty impressive, but can you make a Stargate out of a toaster?

I did. Suffice to say, that pretty much ruined my whole breakfast. Never again.

Give me 20minutes, just gotta finish mine, then we can send toast, via wormhole

Andrew, are you indeed on another planet?! Cool!

<Nerd>
Stargates only connect to different planets, they can't really connect to each other on the same planet.

Unless of course Atom Chip are so truly advanced that their tech surpasses the ancients...Of course! They ARE the ancients. It's a big moneymaking scheme!
</Nerd>

Seriously though, this is a joke that gets funnier and funnier...Anyone still believe this?

a question is: how do you actually want to hold the quants? Or better to ask the old physical question: how much does a gramm of light/energy/quants cost? Unpayable.

Or even better: 04-12-2004 scientists at Max-Plank-Institute managed to save energy states of quants on cesium atoms and read that information again.

Here a small picture of that RAM: http://img.pte.at//lowrespics/1102090144i3608.jpg

Before that saving and reading data via quants was impossible. And now those come with their chips and 1TB Ram.

Lol. Hoax Hoax Hoax.

I bet there will be stickers e.g.: my computer has 1TB Ram now from them - thanks to quants. Put it onto your old DRAM and you have 1TB then.

Sorry for not being able to provide english sources, just search for max planck, quants and memory or similar terms, you will surely come to it.

that was last year, notice the big 2005

and i think they used some MSPaint ... just look at the logos.

This is rather interesting, they show an NTFS volume of 10TB (or am I wrong? the image is a quite a bit blurred). NTFS in WinXP can only support partitions up to 2TB in size last time I checked.

To me it looks like 1,024GB which is... 1TB not 10TB... so its perfectly within NTFS's abilities

Being at CES does not stop it from being a hoax. His 'products' are the hoax. They have never been shown as working, the 'processor' looks like a digital camera lense, and when announced awhile back he gave screenshots of Windows showing his hardware specs - only Windows doesn't support enough memory/hd space on 1 hd to show that amount and after looking at it carefully you could tell it was photoshoped because the numbers weren't aligned properly.

Hoax - no dought about it

I really like the funky beginning - it sort of puts you in the right mood

Anyone who didn't see this the first time around, you have to see the video of their "solar memory" in action:
http://www.compu-technics.com/images/solar%20memory.WMV

I hadn't seen that since last year. And it's still just as funny.

I wouldn't call this a hoax, as that would indicate intent. I think this guy is just plain nuts.

It's honestly embarrassing for OSnews to even evoke that this story has possibly some truths behind it.

Heh, of course it's not. The whole net buzzed with this stuff six months ago, and OSNews too put this incredible story up. Hence, we must do our journalistic duties, and finish the story.

Other than that, Sundays are slow newsdays.

loool nice link!
That's single blamage

It's quantum RAM... so it needs its own chipset that supports it... wonder if it has an onboard memory controller... if it hasnt that would hamper performance abit...

Also whats the supposed FSB of this Quantum CPU?

I think that for 1TB they will need a far bigger channel between CPU and RAM than it is on pictures. The problem is that we already reached highest FSB on computers because light speed is c and can't become higher.

You won't be able to pump all the data the CPU might want to use with 24 (or whatever there are) pins. The data and word bus(ses?) are just too small to provide any proper data transfer.

We are somewhere at 200Mhz FSB and it won't be more because the distance between RAM and CPU is just too big. Not to say about requirement for a different computer architecture because of bigger addresses (64bit is enough for 1 TB). Theoretically you can address so much memory with 64bit, but guess why the ppl don't support more than IIRC 4 gigs

If I'm wrong, im always ready to learn.
