Hi,

I am owner of Atom Chip and I am letting you all know it is not a hoax it is real. I am on the laptop right now. In turn the laptop is on my lapt and is about 124 degrees C, so I expect to never be able to have children.

Thank you,

Atom Chip

Whats most interesting is that the site has been there claiming this for a good few months and yet no official medium has either credited or discredited it.
An lets be straight here if this thing is using light processing then 6.8 GHz is extreemly under clocked and hence the potential of the technology is god like.
yet no official source has credited it or discredited it.
that in itself is fascinating.

Since when did CES mean that it is guaranteed to be real and truthful?

would be interesting to see if any green horns actually tried to invest in that company/hoax.

They are registered with CES, so they are not a hoax…

How could this possibly be a hoax? They have the screenshots to prove it.

“1. the mobile chipset in question can’t address above 2 GB”

But there are FOUR processors. For all we know they are running in pairs for EMT64 capability.

I am pre-ordering mine now. I only have to give them a $4,000 down payment (in cash) and I am guaranteed to get one.

Thanks for pointing this out jk! I won’t regret it!

Very bad tech tech Hoax. as all the above users pointed out,
Intel chipset
With a “quantum II” processor
(in the same typeface as Quantum the drive maker)
with dual “optical tranceivers”
running 1TB when: 1. the mobile chipset in question can’t address above 2 GB and 2. XP can’t address above 4GB.
Then, NanoMicro — is that 1*10^-9 times 1*10^-6? for a doozie 1*10^-15? dumb.
Plus notice how the faster processor running at 6.8 GHZ takes less power to run than the Pentium M. Yeah.

Yes, he does. It’s definitely looking like this is a pretty good hoax to me. They sure put a lot of work into it, though.

Jeff Duntemann described this as a very good "tech hoax": http://www.duntemann.com/september2005.htm#09-07-2005
