IBM announced optical chip breakthrough

The Wall Street Journal reported that IBM has planned to announce a new breakthrough in chip manufacturing technology with optical chip prototype.

This optical technology allows IBM to speed up the transfer of data in new microprocessor chips 8 times faster than today's fastest chip.

According to the Wall Street Journal, IBM's new optical chip will meet the huge data transfer needs in a short time. The example requires transferring almost instantaneous synchronization data between a digital radiograph and a doctor's device screen.

Analysts say IBM's new chip prototype will be a new breakthrough in the field of combining semiconductor technology and optical technology.

An IBM spokesman confirmed that the Wall Street Journal is an optical chip that will be commercially available in about three years.
