I've heard about these new non-silicone chips that are supposed to run faster, and stay cooler. (Don't know the name of the new element.) Supposedly coming out in 3 ot 5 years....... :nerd:

Does anyone have any more info on this, or what the new element is called that's replacing the silicone?
 
I would have thought they'd use germanium. That's what IBMs supercomputer uses in its chips. Currently becoming a little more affordable and "mainstream" and have been possible to reach the general population before too long. Are you sure this isn't the "metals" they are talking about?
