Up to 500 GHz in speed

Using a transistor printed on a silicon wafer laced with germanium the researchers were able to develop a transistor that clocked in at around 350GHz at room temperature. When they dropped the temperature they got it up to 500GHz.
This essentially could be the beginning of new speeds in Computer Technology. If only Communication speed could catch up with this.
We just got over the Mhz hump and IBM is testing the boundry of the GHz. I think they will have us getting new computers at 500 GHz by 2020. If not THz!!! Yikes!!

Take a look!!
