为了抢占在电脑硬件和网络方面的领先地位,全球最大的计算机硬件生产商 IBM 今年以来致力于新产品研发。6月25日,IBM 发言人宣布已经研制出世界上最快的硅晶体管,它采用了 IBM 卓有成效的硅锗(SiGe)技术,其通过的电流仅为1毫安,而速度提高到了210GHz。这意味着新的晶体管比目前的产品在性能上提高了80%,而能耗却降低了50%。这比其主要竞争对手最近公布的计划要快5倍并提前4年以上。
In order to seize the leading position in computer hardware and network, IBM, the world’s largest computer hardware manufacturer, has been committed to the research and development of new products this year. On June 25th, an IBM spokesperson announced that it has developed the world’s fastest silicon transistor. It uses IBM’s proven silicon germanium (SiGe) technology, which passes only 1 milliamperes of current and speeds up to 210 GHz. This means that the new transistor is 80% more efficient than the current product, while the energy consumption is reduced by 50%. This is five times faster than the plan recently announced by its major competitors and four years ahead of schedule.
