OT: Motorola 70GHz CPU (was RE: filmscanners: That's some overclocking)

[Stan McQueen <stan@smcqueen.com>]

I haven't found any numbers for CPU speed, but the following story (which 
requires a free registration) says that Motorola has come up with a way to 
combine GaAs with silicon to produce significantly faster circuits. (It has 
been said that Gallium Arsenide--GaAs--is the semiconductor material of the 
future, and it always will be.)
