pretty sure it has something to do with speed of light divided by clock speed

pretty sure it has something to do with speed of light divided by clock speed
- kloch 4y agoPretty sure it has everything to do with heat dissipation
- hansel_der 4y agoprobably true as well. also iirc the actual clock of the logic gates is a factor above the 'operations clock'
- joshspankit 4y agoI hadn’t even considered that there is a physical limitation. I’m too lazy to look it up now, but when I first read this I feel like the math said electrons can move at maximum 5cm in a single 5GHz clock cycle? That’s wild.
- hansel_der 4y agothe eletrons do not have to 'move' the entire way for transfer of information because they will push the already present ones further.
- joshspankit 4y agoWell yes, but that’s an academic difference unless you’re stating that they can transfer information faster than light.
- hansel_der 4y agowell no, i was saying that the information moves faster than the electrons. speed of light in vacuum remains unbeaten afaik
