@morphoyle Agreed. A solid write up on the case here: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=966

@pika2000 Lightpeak doesn't use silicon photonics and will be limited to what we see already today.

That write goes into more details about how it works and explains how this announcement will change things in the future.

@Ninjakid4 Ta da! http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=954

@paul34 For FPS titles, we found it basically worthless. And that is a LARGE portion of the market for PC gamers...

A good technical overview of Optimus as well battery and performance testing can be found here:

@thunderbollock Agree 100%. "Blazingly fast" are words that can't be put on a 1GHz SoC chip, sorry. Can it do 1080p video? Can it run multiple apps? Can it, I dunno, do Flash?

Blazingly fast computers do all those things.

@taligent Actually you didn't get it straight. Was not blocked initially, was blocked once in several weeks of testing while the internet connections was god awful.

Lots of real details about the architecture here along with several demonstration videos:

Maybe something to add to more coverage, a review from PCPer:

@Wwhat I see that you have never been in any of these positions before, otherwise you would have a different view. Also, releasing things "at an exact moment" does NOT mean more readers than normal. These sites would get 10x the traffic if they didn't all release at the same time.

Keep in mind as well that engadget does get information under embargo as well to be released at specific times. The entire industry works this way.
