xtraa Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Wow First the 80Core, now the Quantum CPU and we still have three days to come until it's friday The Canadian startup D-Wave Systems just introduced the first Quantum CPU to the World in Cali, USA. The CPU can handle 16 QBits, and they are already working on a 1000 Qbit version for 2008. Now, what does that mean? unlike normal Computers, Quantum bits can do more than just being 0 or 1. they can be both at the same time. That means that you can use the calculations pararllel: - Today a 16bit Computer can calculate just 1 of 64.000 possible values. - A 16Qbit Quantum computer can calculate 64.000 posible values, too. But at the same time. What else does that mean? That means, every U.S. guy doing Canada-bashing, will hear a "Hey, shutup, we made the Quantum CPU" from now on Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42364-the-first-quantum-processor-introduced/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbz Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 um it's not for sale... so itsn't this just like (well, similar to) Intel's unveiling of their 80 core processor? In fact, wouldn't that be more significant?

xtraa Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 um it's not for sale... so itsn't this just like (well, similar to) Intel's unveiling of their 80 core processor? In fact, wouldn't that be more significant? Well lol It will be ready for the market in 2008. Even if one could buy it today, you would not be able to program it. There are 5 known algorithms for a quantum computer. So the news is more the technology itself: If its true what they say, its like inventing the car, or the telephone. That big.

head Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 this whole thing starts to grow above our heads, i say it.... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42364-the-first-quantum-processor-introduced/#findComment-303241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 We just need to prepare for the alien's technology, and our computer lineup will be complete!
