Intel Manufacturing Chip That Can Generate & Route Light

Via The BBC.

Data speeds inside computers or across continents could get a boost from Intel research into hybrid processors.

Intel researchers have solved a manufacturing problem that has delayed the creation of devices that can both generate and route light.

The breakthrough could mean cheaper and higher speed computer networks and help to speed up the transfer of data inside computers.

Intel said commercial versions of the hybrid chip may not appear until 2010.
