SYNTHETIC DIAMONDS AND ULTRAPURE GLASS MAY MAKE THE COOLEST, FASTEST CPUS YET

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Diamond Foundry is producing synthetic diamond wafers for use with silicon microchips. Using synthetic diamond wafers allows silicon chips to run at least twice as fast as their rated speed. Intel is producing purified glass for substrates. The glass is being used to improve power efficiency and communication between chips. These types of new technologies may be the next great turn in the hardware manufacturing industry.
