Japan shatters internet speed record

[Kenrou]

"A group of researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) seemed to have found the answer to all our woes. They have reportedly managed to achieve internet speeds of a whopping 402 Terabits per second (Tbps) or 402,000 Gbps, shattering all previous records... used commercially available ordinary fibre optic cables..."

That's cool... but, help me... I'm network averse....

Is there anything fast enough to process that speed? L1 cache on say 14900k is like what 4-9k GB/s and tiny. I understand this is theoretical, but imagine the system needed to capture the data in any remotely timing manner....

Gigabit/s to Gigabyte/s, 50,250 GB/s

As requested benchmarks of my new 32gb 4000mhz cl 18 ram vs my old 3200mmhz cl 16 ram

Just my benchmarks from my new 32gb ram at 3733mhz cl 16 Official a 5700X3D don't depend to much on ram speed as long as it's got a fairly low cl it's fine I thought the difference wold be higher going from 64gb 3200mhz cl 16 to 32gb 3733mhz cl 16 For the money 32gb 4000mhz cl18 g skill...

in this thread you posted in, the 5800x3D L2 read is 1,976GB/s so its 10 times faster. at 1,976GB/s is 15,808Gb/s. fastest internet in my area 1Gb/s so that is 125MB/s. To try to put that into perspective.

I'll ask the same question.... how would that work? It would have to be "10x" faster to accept it... and that's not talking about a permanent storage location. So it's theoretically limited by the cache and storage. Whereas, even with GB service a platter can handle 125 MB/s.

yea, there is always limits in some parts. this could be used as interconnections to rack pc's in supercomputers. The amount of data that could be sent could vastly improve their performance. In the early days of DSL i think they were running 100mbit to the main box. then from there it was 1mbps to each DSL box.

Good luck finding storage that fast. Monstrous fanned out SSD array...I don't even know how scaled out you'd need to get to get there...

I hate comparison metrics like that. It doesn't tell you how large their library is for starters. And if it were a single sequential file, maybe. You won't get that many parallel transfers most likely.

How about the residential ISPs get off their collective asses and stop hindering progress. While the backbones themselves may be of benefit (the amount of times I've dealt with tier 1 and 2 providers and their terrible capacity/infrastructure...)

But this reeks of eggs in one basket. Take what's happened/happening to some links in the Middle East. Imagine one or two of these links getting cut. It will decimate the rest of the infra unless the capacity is also up to par.

Take this for example on the residential side:

Netomnia Reveals Plan for 50Gbps UK FTTP Broadband Network

Network operator Netomnia, which is supported by retail ISP YouFibre and has already covered almost 1 million UK premises with their alternative 10Gbps capable

Ignoring the fact that maybe .00001% of subscribers have an internal network to handle that, even less would probably be able to even leverage it in any meaningful way.

I have 8Gbps service. The best real world usage have been Steam DLs peaking at about 2.2Gbps. Since all the streamers compress the crap out of all their content anyway, it's 100% useless.

What I was trying to say, but in a much mkre intelligent manner, lol!
