yes very interesting...

" By connecting processing cores on a chip by light instead of with wires, the problems of high energy consumption and heat generated by multi-core chips could be bypassed, enabling leaps in computing power."

Sounds a bit like the Arasor chip. This could be WMDA technology but not sure.

Someone more knowledge might know more about it. I think Sskim is an electronic engineer. Perhaps he could fill us in.

Anyway Simon Cao is supposed to be the "father" of such light tranmitting technology. He even has a law named after him - "Cao's Law".

Also he acquired a lot of chip making technology from Lucent just prior to the dot.com crash for nix and this has been used to set up a factory in China.

The chips are currently being used in computer add on designed to get wireless broadband. Also ZTE has entered into a joint venture with ARR and a $300m line of credit to develop lazer display engines for cell phones.

According to IBM that is 10-15 years away from being commercially available.

I wonder if what ARR is producing is similar to this IBM chip and if perhaps ARR may have got the jump on its larger rival.
You know what they say about elephants not galloping. Well it might be the case here where the smaller rival is moving a lot faster to the commercialisation stage and stealing market share from the bigger rival.
