p2p news / p2pnet:- Is this the world`s first solid state, dual Windows and Linux, Wi-Fi notebook computer?

It is, says the Atom Chip Corp, promising its SG220-2 doesn`t need a hard disk and is completely based on AtomChip optoelectronics – except for the mechanical Optical Drive: DVD Super Multi.

And remember that sequence in Blade Runner when Deckert is examining a photo, telling his computer, 35 degrees left. Stop. Zoom in. Stop. Zoom in more? The SG220-2 lets you use your voice to look up e-mails, contacts, get calendar information, play and control your music or video, and launch programs, says Atom Chip.

The company says it’s developed a series of new Quantum and Quantum-Optical devices for storing and processing information, “in a way that permits high-speed data accessibility, with a high degree of reliability, non-volatility, and extremely high-density in an extremely compact size”.

The Quantum-Optical memory, “has a much higher capacity when compared with Flash memory, has the lowest cost per Gigabyte and does not have a limited number of cycles to update information. Therefore, Quantum-Optical memory can be used as RAM, unlike Flash memory which can only be used as storage.

Atom Chip says it’s developed and designed the new ultra-high density, ultra-high speed non-volatile integrated optoelectronic Random Access Memory (NvIOpRAM) —– “3.2GB of non-volatile RAM are contained in one cubic millimeter”.

The technology is the advancement of the Quantum technology based on the magnetic quantum-optical phenomenon in porous silicon, says Atom Chip. “The Quantum-Optical technology has a minimum sustained write speed of 6 gigabytes (GB) per second and a read speed of 8 GB per second”.

Moreover, “These products will outperform at a much lower cost any other RAM devices that are currently being produced,” says Atom Chip.

NvIOpRAM [ATA IDE] products sell for $2.50 per 1GB; NvIOpSRAM [144-pin SODIMM] – $4.50 per 1GB; and, NvIOpSRAM [200-pin SODIMM] – $6.00 per 1GB.

The non-volatile Quantum-Optical RAM increases the speed of the system since there’s no need to refresh information after every cycle of reading of information, unlike regular RAM, says Atom Chip. And the Quantum II processor with 256MB on-board memory has a high speed with very low consumption of electrical energy, it says, adding the notebook has a wireless function, high CPU speed and large memory capacity with low power consumption and that the absence of an HD increases system stability.
