Who was it that said a pc would never need more than 650K of memory?

Im sure Sony and Microsoft will be fighting to get this technology into the PS5 and Xbox Two 360720

Finally a cpu that can power a holographic projector, seriously that has been the bottleneck in producing holographic imagery and this may be fast enough to process it,.
This is cool and if the civil technology is developing it now then the odds are that some branch of the military will already be using vastly more expensive versions and this is also what we will need once it has been reduced to a usable size for the neural implants of the mid 21st century if we ever see them and even artifical brains if googles projection of downloading the human mind is right.

I've been seeing talk of smart-phone sized devices being able to project 2d displays and even potentially holographic displays. So there's a potential that you could have a 13x13 display on your smartphone - not because it has a 13x13 display but because it's projecting it onto a surface or into midair. This isn't distant future either.
I always like tech stuff. Can't explain it. It's like how some people love muscle cars or guns or baseball. I like looking at information.
I suppose that it would be wrong to say that the average person would have absolutely never, even have a need for such a 200Tb smartphone, but that won't stop them from being put into the marketplace. Honestly, who is going to NEED that much power in a handheld?

This is more than a beefy computer. This is technology that will be used in all devices. From phones to watches, to trains.
A new open source OS too...
This is a new type of computing technology all together.

(well, to rebut myself, I can imagine such a device could be programed to be an instant two-way translator of every language in the world, putting the transposed words of each language into the proper conversational context for the other. An old sci-fi dream come to life, no one would need to bother to learn another language.)
This system will completely innovate computing systems will be fast. The processing, moving, and storing of information is unheard of. They are having redesign the OS for this to manage the petabytes (1 PB = 1000000000000000B = 1015bytes = 1000terabytes) of information using less energy.
I have to. This equation is just... wrong.
In computer science, sizes are calculated in multiples of 8. Any step from 'Kilo' to 'Mega' to 'Giga' to 'Terra' to 'Peta' is a calculation by 1024. A kilobyte is 1024 Bytes, a megabyte is 1024 Kilobytes, and so on.
Text According to HP, The Machine can manage 160 petabytes of data in a mere 250 nanoseconds.

This is amazing! Amazing find! It's going to be the first public nano computer available and I guess it's going to be from HP. I just can't help but think that all this is, is the first stages of nano-tech. I'm only half way through, but I just had to reply when I heard him talk about ions. This is way beyond me but I am going to get into this one. Ok, now to finish watching the rest of this. Just amazing stuff, technology never ceases to amaze me, and anyone else following this knows this is starting to turn into a freaky show.
