Q: Summary of what you read.
A: IBM has made a breakthrough in coverting electrical signals into light pulses which allow them to connect hundreds or thousand of procession cores on a tiny chip because there's no more need of wires required to connect them. This technology can be as much as 100 times faster and use 10 times less power than wires. And one pf the most advanced ships there is today is IBM's Cell processor that is in the Sony PS3, which has nine cores, or "brains." IBM said that in the future tiny supercomputers on a chip could expend as little energy as a light bulb, compared with today's supercomputers, which can use as much energy as powering hundreds of homes.
