Has anyone seen or heard of this "Super computer?"

Yes, we've been discussing it in the channel...the consensus there is that it's genuinely fake. BUT, they apparently have a booth for the 2006 CES show*

*search CES's site for more info

I don't think WindowsXP can handle 12 Terabyte of space properly, I may be wrong.

And I don't think WindowsXP can handle 1 terabyte of RAM either.

1 TB of RAM images/smilies/w00t.gif

can't be...... 6.8 GHz processor...who are they trying to kid...+ the laptop is not visually attractive either..

Yeah the maximum addressable ram space on 32 bit operating systems is something near 16GB (with special extensions). A 64 bit operating system could in theory support 16^2 GB or 256GB of RAM, with addressable space.

As for the 12 TB of Hard Drive space, it becomes a limitation of the hardware because NTFS in theory can handle 128bit addresses, so 12 TB is possible, even though I doubt the currently shipping windows XP software can access 12TB of storage without special extensions. Windows Server 2003 does have this support (with special drivers) since SAN systems can have 20+ TB of storage in a single drive.

So in other words, totally fake, especially once you hit the 4GHz mark, it gets difficult to keep track of your electrons so speed measurements are near impossible, and it is nearly impossible to control them at that frequency (with current technology).

It would be less suspicious if it had been a server, but definitely not a laptop, since laptops always get the oldest of new technologies. Usually newest most awesome technologies hit the server market first, followed by performance desktops, followed by cheap desktops, and then laptops.

"The Quantum II is the brainchild of Westbury, New York-based Shimon Gendlin, who runs Atom Chip and Compu-technics, and whose "magneto quantum-optical" discoveries are enshrined in US patent 5,841,689 filed in November 1996 and granted in November 1998."

"The company is scheduled to demonstrate its wares on Booth 36604"

And He does have a patent...sorta big for a hoax but he did apply it on 1996

IIRC patents don't have to work. You can patent a process, and if it's convoluted enough, the patent office will grant it without much investigation. The better question would be if someone could obtain the patent filing. The other test will be if they actually show up to CES, and hell if CES even has a 36604 booth, (since i wouldn't think they would have 36000 booths, or that they would start with a random number).

It's real, just its a bit big for a normal laptop.

Aaah, after the Hummerlaptop and the Lada-laptop there's finally a Lamborghini-laptop: completely insane!

Look at the pictures. They're claiming a CD-ROM read mechanism is their processor.

My favorite fake is the photoshopped image of the Windows 'About' screen showing 1TB of memory. In 32-bit Windows. (Awww... They seem to have removed that screen shot...)

People are so clueless. Does everyong realize it takes 50days of 24 hour processing to make a CPU? About 20 days to make a chip of ram. And even then, theres only a few that actually meet specs and work. You can't "make" 1TB of memory - there is no design for it.

Well, from the article on The Register, the patent filing is here: Click Me

Haven't read it yet, but may do later to see if it actually makes any sense...[/b]
