Processor frequency to 1000GHz ,expected to climb

Throughout the course of development of the computer industry, people
are always in constant pursuit of higher performance, upgrade the
processor's operating frequency is undoubtedly the simplest and most
effective method. And we know that, CPU operating frequency is
multiplied by the FSB multiplier to come. Therefore, if the multiplier
can increase the room, they can multiply rapidly improve performance.

However, the upgrading of octave not arbitrary. SHG signal generated
by the multiplier, when the rising octave, the output signal of the
multiplier noise will also increase the need for filtering. And to
produce high-frequency-doubling of electricity consumption is also
required is considerable. This is the CPU frequency to enhance the
delay can not be a major breakthrough in an important cause.

But a few days ago, the United States Massachusetts Institute of
Technology researchers made use of new materials multiplier, it is
possible to break this restriction so that the processor work at a
surprising frequency.

This material, called graphene (graphene), by British scientists have
discovered. It is a perfect single-layer two-dimensional crystal of
carbon atoms, all carbon atoms are in hexagonal array. Familiar to us
in a sense on the carbon nanotubes can be seen as a rolled graphene
volume. Since this material was found, the scientists all over the
world to explore it in the fields of electronics, microprocessor
industry.
