underlying problem with a digital signal is skew rate. A digital
signal doesn't instantaneously switch from low to high or vice
versa, even in a single transistor. It has a finite time it
takes to "ramp" up to the necessary voltage. I think now a CPU
reads 1.2V or higher as a binary 1 (correct me if I'm wrong) and
285mV or lower as a 0 (again, may not be up to date). At 1000GHz
a single bit probably wouldn't reach 1.2V before the next one
has been received.  RE: Odd By wifiwolf on 3/24/2009 10:12:10 PM
, Rating: 4 I agree with you 2 but you're not seeing all the
variables. Some time ago we used 0v to 5v to signal '0' and '1'.
Now it's narrowed. I'm sure we can narrow it much more when we
get to need it. There is a Vdd and vcc that are always comming
down, so less power is being used each iteratiion we get on the
cpu and other electronic components. That is what get as
climbing. That's wha
