Atom Chip Corporation — Why does none of this sound right to me? It’s quite hard to tell if this so-called new chip is anything but a 4-way Pentium lash-up. Even so it would be difficult to not have heat problems in a laptop.
It gets more weird with the Terabyte solid state memory module. Someone sent the links asking if this was a hoax. It seems more like wishful thinking. We’ll see soon enough once the crowd looks this over. I can just say that on first inpection it doesn’t look right. And things like this do not appear out-of-the-blue like this and show up on websites with zero contact information.
That said this appears to be the next iteration of this company, Computechnics, run by Shimon Gendlin. You can do the searches yourself but he claims to have invented (or discovered) something called the Gendlin effect that makes no sense to me whatever it is. He once partnered with a Japanese inventor who claims to have invented the first floppy disc too. As far as I know the floppy was invented by a team of IBM engineers in 1971.
He put together a laptop which he is supposed to show at the 2006 CES show. You can be sure I’ll be tracking that one down. The website goes out of its way to prove that the company is actually listed in the CES catalog already. Seems a bit much.
You should be amused by all this.
Atom Chip Corporation has developed and designed the new ultra-high density, ultra-high speed and extremely compact size non-volatile integrated optoelectronic Random Access Memory (NvIOpRAM). 3.2GB of non-volatile RAM are contained in one cubic millimeter.
WHAT IS QUANTUM-OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY?
This Quantum-Optical technology, which is the advancement of the Quantum technology (U.S. Patent No 5,841,689, and one new patent pending.) is based on the discovered magnetic quantum-optical phenomenon in porous silicon, entitled after the name of its discoverer, the Gendlin Effect. 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.
RePete: “C’mon man. This is such a hoax! Why is this stupid thing getting so much attention?”
It’s because John Dvorak isn’t smart enough to realize this is a hoax and is giving this company free advertisement for a product that cannot and does not exist.

It’s a hoax. If the patent # is bogus…then there’s really not much else to say, is there?
This is just like the bonsai kitten.

Patent 5841689 and then Kappa Numerics (which was assignee to all previous patents) sent $45,000 to Dr Gary Erickson at Boise State U. in fall 2000 for Fabrication Services Contract, likely to be spent on the Micron Engineering Center accessible to BSU (see URI above)
Not sure what came out of this, but gerickson@boisestate.edu might have a view on the subject.
My take is that if Micron would see any potential at that point, during the Rambus/Dramurai wars, they would have found a way to turn it into reality, unless some unbelievable royalty requests. Furthermore, Micron might have made a quad PM chipset for the occasion (remember Samurai with integrated L3 in 1999) so assuming Intel would make EM64T PM going beyond 36-bits each, you could address 274GB.
I guess the remainder would have to be PCI-bridged or whatever.
Also it’s hard to imagine that given the competitiveness of the memory industry, no one would have pursued the patent by now, especially since Mr Ghendlin claims there is not much retooling, not to mention Intel trying an alternative to FB-DIMM, AMD HTXing Hypertransport to NVIopSRAM, SSD manufacturers and the like….
Constellation 3D anyone ?
Hey, Go to their home page and click “CONTACT US” and see if anyone can get a response from them.
An i-pod operating system works with 60gb of memory, it do not make diference if you tell the operanting system how to work, for exemple, if you are using full 4gb of ram memory, you may use SWAP memory…just a note…this system are working with the same kind of memory in a both. ways;-)
sorry my english.
so how many of the people posting here could explain what a fourier transform is, how it works, as well as understanding the principals of quantium theory? regardless of the legitimacy of atomchip.com, do any of you realise that not only is this technology possible(means; not necesarily to the same end), but its just a matter of time before it becomes commercially mainstreamed in a way similar to the site in question here.
you may like to have a look at http://www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip/ and use wikipedia.org if you dont understand some of ‘the big words’.
this is rediculous. anyone that keeps up with processors/memory… etc… would know that we are comming to an end in speed production… using current productions methods, there is NO WAY possible to fit enough transistors on a processor for 6.8Ghz… ESPECIALLY not a laptop processor! At this point, manufacturers can’t produce much higher speeds without using a high frequency light wave in the silicon cutting procedure.
take a look in ntfs max volume size =)

ok look intel just resently finsish its first optical chip and only the chip is optical. second quantom computing isnt even in effect. thrid the first use of quantion comp-uting is electron tunnleing using single electron transistors only problem still to much interference from other componets leaking electrons. this has to be a hoax. if he accualy did it how ever kudos to him…one thought thugh the original singer sewing machinces weighd 20 sum odd pounds and were coniderded portable so maby he concidersa a 6′x6′ platform laptop size.
LMAO! looks like they made windows display GB’s As TB’s and they probobly just put stickers on their 1 or 2 GB compact flash drives that makes them appear as TB’s
I’m not saying it’s a hoax or otherwise, it’s just that it seems most detractors could really use a spell checker.
Come on guys, if you’re going to establish any resemblance of credibility when attempting to criticize something, at least make it appear that you have some form of formal education.
If you can’t spell, you can’t sell – simple as that !
I don’t want to make assumptions on something that isn’t my forte, but this is a bit “too good to be true”. The fact that the inventor (Gendlin) has registered patents , doesn’t mean they neccasarily work…
Take a look at this article http://tinyurl.com/9t5xr from 1997- makes you wonder about Gendlin, doesn’t it?
BTW – there is no relation between atomchips.com and the link to the atom chip site at BGU, quoted above by ShPheonix
The Oscar award is hilarious! This is the weirdest hoax ever. I commend the perps on their subtlety and hope to see more ‘technological advances’ in the future.
Sounds like a strong candidate to Pulitzer Prize for Fiction!
A start-up company produces unhearable breakthrough in four different markets – NVRAM, RAM, CPU, Laptops – all in its first product.
Well, I found this info on the web if anyone in the States fancies contacting them!!! If you get a reply, forward it to me, I’d be interested in the outcome!!!

It is a residential address. You can see their house on http://maps.google.com/ . Search for 21 Reed Lane, Westbury, NY and click on hybrid
Looks like an APARTMENT BUILDING! Did he leave off the #2A on his address? LOL It’s either an apartment or a mansion compared to the other houses. Can someone drive over there and knock on the door please?
