IBM and Georgia Institute of Technology are experimenting with silicon-
germanium, it is said here:

I find this interesting having just attended NANOG 37 where some
manufacturers of network devices told us in a panel that network
heat problems weren't going away unless there's a 'next big thing'
in manufacturing process.

Is this it?


Corrolary: If our routers are made of silicon-germanium, would the
CLI only operate in Deutsch?
