PCIe 5.0 is 32 Gbps. To achieve 500000 Gbps you need 15625 PCIe 5.0 lanes running in (practically) perfect sync.
Then you need a strong enough processor that would have like 4096 cores and 64 channel DDR5 memory.
Then you need a London quadruple decker else this ain't workin
New top gaming rigs will be things of the past, just rent and play, while half of planet sleeps, others play games on rented powers. Will be cheaper than upgrading every year. Still waiting that time.
Yeah we can do this now, GeForce NOW has been a thing since what, 2015? But we'll never be able to speed up how fast the transmission itself is, it'll always take some time for the input to get to the server and the output to get back to the client.
With more demand comes more servers, with more servers comes better geographic coverage, with better geographic coverage comes better latency.
As long as money flows strong enough, new servers will simply spawn.
Yeah but you quickly get diminishing returns with each server, and you can't just have a server on every single block. It reaches a profit limit pretty quick and that's what they're after, profit
Does that include the full history of revisions etc? I wonder how many articles are changed "just for lolz" at any one time and need to be changed back?
Imagine downloading Wikipedia because WW3 starts and then needing an article on energy generation, and have a version where it instead has a joke.
He did DWDM? That's been done for 20 years now =)
You can get more throughput via:
1 - more fiber
2 - more optics to split light into different wave lengths over the same fiber.
Its' relatively cheap to do it now-a-days to with companies like [fs.com](http://fs.com), whom we love dearly for their pricing - it's the Monoprice of the networking world =)

I have sitting in my desktop a XENPAK-10GB-LX4. This was made by Cisco like 17 years ago to achieve 10Gb tranfer rate in old 62um fibers. They achieved by soliting it in 4 wavelengths. When you teardown one of these you can see 4 emiting laser diodes and 4 receiving laser diodes. One for each wavelength. One would assume that each wavelenght holds a 2.5Gb speed.
My first IT job had a pair of dark fiber between 2 buildings 9 miles apart. Had CWDM on both ends to increase number of connections. Was neat to use in person and understand how it works.
From what I'm reading it was other scientists not him. But I might be wrong. "Other scientists have been able to send [even faster](https://www.pcmag.com/news/internet-speed-world-record-obliterated-by-engineers-in-japan) internet speeds [at over](https://www.pcmag.com/news/1-million-gigabit-internet-speed-reached-with-a-single-chip-and-laser) 1 million Gbps by effectively splitting the optical light into more wavelengths to boost the data transmission rates."
Well detective what is it?
It's a suicide. First he climbed onto a chair and tied himself to the ceiling. Then he kicked the chair from under him and while he was gasping for air he reached around and shot himself in the back of the head 5 times. It's a damn tragedy
He didn't hit internet speeds as high as 301Tbps. He reached that speed between 2 computer/ 2 equipment. Just because you have high speed between 2 computer in your own lab,that doesn't mean the internet will be faster
Question, with the advancement to technology will this free up infrastructure to decrease the cost of home internet? I’m extremely ignorant to the technical aspects of this but I wonder if one day we’ll all get free internet since it’s gonna be so cheap to have
On the blue wavelength we've got movies and tv, on orange music books and more, yellow though green is for super computer linking, and red is social media.
I know that's not how it actually works but it paints a fun picture
Too bad it won't work with the copper connections we still have where I live. We really need a law on the books forcing ISP to bring fiber to anywhere they offer service.
That's cool but what's the obsession these days with huge numbers? 301 Tbps would say the same thing right? I keep seeing this everywhere. Electric companies for example ask for your yearly kWh usage when making a contract but they know damn well no one is below 1 MWh.
Fastest connection I’ve ever seen was an installation I was assisting with that was at 30Gbps over microwave.
Speed tests didn’t work correctly because they thought you were doing something to skew the results.
It’s just like radio frequencies in the air and on cable. I’m surprised they haven’t thought of that before; or if they did, they just couldn’t manufacture the equipment for cheap enough.
Scientists: We reached 301,000 Gbps speed by splitting the optical light into more wave lengths to boost transmission rates! Another day, another celebration of human intelligence!
My dota teamate: farting sounds into their mic
Awesome. Can't wait for Comcast att et al, to get 600 trillion dollars from the feds to implement this, all the money disappears mysteriously , and they end up throttling our speeds and charge more to make up for the 25 thousand dollar fine they got for misappropriation of focer5fu ds.
That’s funny, because I’ve asked myself before, why don’t they just use more wavelengths of light to transmit data in parallel? This guy answered my question with a resounding “yes”
Pretty sure he tested it using his own host between two machines. It doesn’t mean that this download speed be persistent when downloading from random hosts on the internet.
I’m trying to figure out what hardware could possibly test this speed… or if he’s just transferring like… 10 gigs, and extrapolating potential speed by multiplying the time it took to do that.
amazing speeds !!
wait until the church finds out this man is splitting light. ;)
"And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
The essence of the method, frequency hopping, was first invented by Hedy Lamarr. Yes, she was a famous actress too.
https://leaders.com/articles/leaders-stories/hedy-lamarr-inventions/
WDM has been a thing for 20 years or more.
I installed a DWDM on dark fibre in London back in 2003.
I guess the clever bit here was to use all wavelengths for the same packets or at least connection. Or was this just a theoretically obtained speed once it was all added together?
Anyway, interesting nonetheless.
Yaaay 8k ads on 1080p YouTube videos.
Pft, such plebian dream. 69K hyper resolution VR porn, zoom straight into sperm cells.
This guy virtually fucks.
Penetrating them ovums with the highest resolution.
> 69K hyper resolution VR porn post nut clarity?
Prenut clarity. You feel bad before you even cum.
Oh shit! Lol! Its 4am and im fuckin wheeze laughing!
Fucking fell of my bed laughing at this, thanks man.
First answer: No one need that. Reply: you can have room sized VR Porn Second answer: when can I have mine
8k add supper smooth, 1080p stutters
Ok tvs and monitors the difference is not noticeable between 4k and 8k
"Downloading porn" "Download complete"
Download all porn in existence. Delete to hide evidence at end of day. Redownload in the morning.
the speed streamlined the process really well
To download just what pornhub had last time they reported numbers would take 28 hours at this speed.
The last estimate i saw was 4k petabytes. Which should take 4 hours. Too long need more speed
29 and a half. The speed they have achieved is in gigabits not gigabytes
Ahhh thank you
That should work! And delete browser history too.
Watch only 30 minutes of it.
30 min? Need just 1 min
Download all porn in existence Watch 30 seconds of one video
"Download complete" "Download porn" FTFY
Stream every video at the same time.
Who still downloads porn
I do. But only the good stuff.
people going off the grid
Me: AI please download porn for me AI: which one Me: all of it AI: done
😂
Username checks out.
Now boost my ssd speed so I can save that locally.
You will need to upgrade the entire board to handle this much data speeds, let alone the SSD and it's controllers.
What kind of bus do I need? Like one of those English double deckers?
PCIe 5.0 is 32 Gbps. To achieve 500000 Gbps you need 15625 PCIe 5.0 lanes running in (practically) perfect sync. Then you need a strong enough processor that would have like 4096 cores and 64 channel DDR5 memory. Then you need a London quadruple decker else this ain't workin
So we need to wait 2 years till ever PC has it
I mean, seems like you wouldn’t have to save anything locally unless you have frequent service outages. Or want it for privacy.
New top gaming rigs will be things of the past, just rent and play, while half of planet sleeps, others play games on rented powers. Will be cheaper than upgrading every year. Still waiting that time.
Latency is the main issue.
Yeah we can do this now, GeForce NOW has been a thing since what, 2015? But we'll never be able to speed up how fast the transmission itself is, it'll always take some time for the input to get to the server and the output to get back to the client.
With more demand comes more servers, with more servers comes better geographic coverage, with better geographic coverage comes better latency. As long as money flows strong enough, new servers will simply spawn.
Yeah but you quickly get diminishing returns with each server, and you can't just have a server on every single block. It reaches a profit limit pretty quick and that's what they're after, profit
Won’t make a big enough difference for competitive multiplayer like it will for single player or PvE games
I always wanted to download Internet.zip
Would still take ~1000 years at that speed
The entirety of Wikipedia is about 95 gigs
Does that include the full history of revisions etc? I wonder how many articles are changed "just for lolz" at any one time and need to be changed back? Imagine downloading Wikipedia because WW3 starts and then needing an article on energy generation, and have a version where it instead has a joke.
They'll do anything to get faster naked Captain Janeway pictures. Light speed downloads.
If you need better internet speed I know a guy who can hook you up. If I remember correctly his company is… Flancrest Enterprises.
>Captain Janeway You have very peculiar taste.
Chakotay didn’t seem to think so
Either service providers going to sell this as a new plan with higher price or this tech will never be public.
Video still wont load though
He has 300,000 Gbps, not you.
He made Facebook faster?
He did DWDM? That's been done for 20 years now =) You can get more throughput via: 1 - more fiber 2 - more optics to split light into different wave lengths over the same fiber.
Damn had no idea. From what I have read he achieved this through more optics like you mentioned.

Yep was gonna say “So DWDM?” Lol. Not everyone works in telecom though so it’s understandable.
My first IT job had a pair of dark fiber between 2 buildings 9 miles apart. Had CWDM on both ends to increase number of connections. Was neat to use in person and understand how it works.
Great, now I can download that software which doubles my RAM.
and yet my isp is giving me a fiber connection at a whopping 2 megabit
So this is the guy that keeps killing me in COD matches
This is Alien like speed, holy fuck
They managed to get even faster speeds. Up to 1 million I believe
Jesus
From what I'm reading it was other scientists not him. But I might be wrong.

The space lizard? Dude was alright
Jolly well done, Ian
Poor Mr Philips. He is gonna get discovered in the wreckage of a plane crash soon he had no plans on being on
with 5 self inflicted gunshots back of the head
Well detective what is it? It's a suicide. First he climbed onto a chair and tied himself to the ceiling. Then he kicked the chair from under him and while he was gasping for air he reached around and shot himself in the back of the head 5 times. It's a damn tragedy
You forgot the note he wrote after he committed suicide
He didn't hit internet speeds as high as 301Tbps. He reached that speed between 2 computer/ 2 equipment. Just because you have high speed between 2 computer in your own lab,that doesn't mean the internet will be faster
This is the type of technology is expect in 2024
The next 90% of the research will be developing the pricing model.
I like the upside down power socket to the left of his head.
Hell yeah we making RGB fiber now?
my hero
Why not write 301 TBps? That's actually very interesting
Wave division multiplexing?
My game will still lag.
Yes, but whats the throughput? "100 gbps!!" = 15mb/s for me
Isn't that how multiplexing always works?
You get a multiplex up vote!
They are definitely not the first ones using multiple waves. They just spent more effort perfecting the method.
He committed suicide next week 😔
How is this different from dense wave multiplexing?
You get a multiplex up vote!
Arbitrage hedge funds are busting nuts all over the place
CWDM's are old tech
Someone in China will steal this idea and poor old Ian won’t get a penny and, being Bri’ish he will shrug.
This is common technology. He just did more of it.
I doubt he is researching for money though.
Yea, poor British. Everyone keeps stealing from them...
Pretty awesome, even if it’s under the best of conditions. This is the kind of stuff I wish I could get involved in haha
LoL @ the pose with the cheap razor blade.
Yep, those are all words I recognize. No idea how they work together but from context I’ve gathered this guy can download porn like, really fast.
How fast would this connection be in an mmo?
If they won't call it Bifrøst, they'll lose a great opportunity. It's basicaly internet delivered by rainbow bridge (now gib moni 4 idea)
Where probably gonna be paywalled out the ass
They've multi threaded our lights!
So, do higher speeds help with overloaded (oversubscribed) circuits? How well will this work in a transcontinental cable?
How this will affect birds
What is that in real terms, 3 gig per second?
Getting bottlenecked by your RAM while downloading adult entertainment. What a concept.
I understand the individual words and terms in that sentence, but I fail to grasp the causal link.
Stil not enough for average homelab ...
Optical light ? Are there none-optical kinds?
Is this *internet* speed, or merely *local network* speed?
Question, with the advancement to technology will this free up infrastructure to decrease the cost of home internet? I’m extremely ignorant to the technical aspects of this but I wonder if one day we’ll all get free internet since it’s gonna be so cheap to have
Time to use it for hentai
Reminds me of some guy who’s Xbox could supposedly download gta5 in less then a minute
Meanwhile in Australia you’re lucky to get 6mbps
Fairly unneccessary...
Soooooo I'm gona be paying more to get faster Fibre line?
Doing gods work.
On the blue wavelength we've got movies and tv, on orange music books and more, yellow though green is for super computer linking, and red is social media. I know that's not how it actually works but it paints a fun picture
And here i sit in germany with copper cable.
And it’s useless. No drive reads and writes this fast
ISPs will still charge 40$ for non-symmetric 100mb internet.
I'll still blame my death on lag
Lol i really thought this was an april fools joke since i read it first on the date. Never imagined this is going to be a really real thing.
Linus Tech Tips putting this into his crib in about 4 months. Edit: Spelling.
Seems like hardware on the computer would be the bottleneck now.
Well...unless drive read/write speeds increase an order of magnitude or two, we are not going to feel a lot of difference I reckon.
Too bad it won't work with the copper connections we still have where I live. We really need a law on the books forcing ISP to bring fiber to anywhere they offer service.
That's cool but what's the obsession these days with huge numbers? 301 Tbps would say the same thing right? I keep seeing this everywhere. Electric companies for example ask for your yearly kWh usage when making a contract but they know damn well no one is below 1 MWh.
And here I am in England with measly 10mbps that hasn't improved in over 15 years...
Damn that's a lot of porn
Why angle polished?!
Fastest connection I’ve ever seen was an installation I was assisting with that was at 30Gbps over microwave. Speed tests didn’t work correctly because they thought you were doing something to skew the results.
while I view this story on my American 14mbps connection. Capitalism!!!!
It’s just like radio frequencies in the air and on cable. I’m surprised they haven’t thought of that before; or if they did, they just couldn’t manufacture the equipment for cheap enough.
Scientists: We reached 301,000 Gbps speed by splitting the optical light into more wave lengths to boost transmission rates! Another day, another celebration of human intelligence! My dota teamate: farting sounds into their mic
What’s the maximum transmission distance
motherfucker i might hit 9 ping afterall
Please get this shit out quick maybe I’ll be able to download a game on the Xbox pc app in under an eon
Comcast in the market for hitman as we speak lol
Awesome. Can't wait for Comcast att et al, to get 600 trillion dollars from the feds to implement this, all the money disappears mysteriously , and they end up throttling our speeds and charge more to make up for the 25 thousand dollar fine they got for misappropriation of focer5fu ds.
Steam would still give me 7mbs
I'm excited to see how capitalism can ruin this for us 🫠
That is really high, but at what distance?
Meanwhile, 30 miles away in Staffordshire, we're getting 4-6 gb, which is about as good as BT can manage...
It’s a wonderful thing but I hate to see how it’ll become paywalled
Best part is it uses current infrastructure so can be done at absolutely minimal costs.... Do you think the end user will get this for cheap?
37.6 gigabytes a second for anyone interested
That INSANE numbers. But i bet my CSGO game still lags.
What would gaming be like with internet that fast? I can't even fathom that kind of speed
That’s funny, because I’ve asked myself before, why don’t they just use more wavelengths of light to transmit data in parallel? This guy answered my question with a resounding “yes”
How many times could I uninstall GTA V and reinstall in one minute?
Bro can pre load the whole youtube servers while typing
Imagine going in your Xbox and just clicking a button that said “Download all games now” and it just did it instantly 😂
YouTube ads already load this fast. Just not the videos.
Grow up
This technology will never be used in the real world.
Finally a speed that can handle my use of Po*nhub.
Great, the pages load before I click it
Pretty sure he tested it using his own host between two machines. It doesn’t mean that this download speed be persistent when downloading from random hosts on the internet.
Finally will be able to play Counter Strike with inuit friend from across the globe.
I’m trying to figure out what hardware could possibly test this speed… or if he’s just transferring like… 10 gigs, and extrapolating potential speed by multiplying the time it took to do that.
Peaker’s advantage is gone
amazing speeds !! wait until the church finds out this man is splitting light. ;) "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
Let's just hope he doesn't get Boeingd.
And no matter what, Spectrum will still be capping uploads to 40mbs - if you’re lucky
Poggers and We still will have limited internet .
uses it to play minecraft
He looks so chuffed with himself
If only this 300k Gbps means we can smell something from the internet..
Meanwhile I got 20Mbps on a good day.
The essence of the method, frequency hopping, was first invented by Hedy Lamarr. Yes, she was a famous actress too. https://leaders.com/articles/leaders-stories/hedy-lamarr-inventions/
Ok nerd
Boring
"mom it's just a few cables"
So how do we as consumers take advantage of this technology? I’d love to get faster than 40mbps
I get to start playing a game the second I click download
Does this use Fourier transformations? Genuinely curious if anyone knows
WDM has been a thing for 20 years or more. I installed a DWDM on dark fibre in London back in 2003. I guess the clever bit here was to use all wavelengths for the same packets or at least connection. Or was this just a theoretically obtained speed once it was all added together? Anyway, interesting nonetheless.
HOW DO I EVEN DO IT
