circular clock?.. rotary wave?

.... and while I'm in here.



I just read an article in WSJ about a revolutionary way to clock digital circuits, a circular clock. I poked around the net and it seems real. Is this really going to have a practical impact. Will Intel be using this design within a few years? And will our clocking speeds leap forward again? Or, it this just the next big hype? Thanks

After reading the article, I'm going with this one.

Sounds bogus to me. It's just a weird way to distribute a clock. And injection locking is notoriously flakey.

EE Times features a similarly-earth-shattering breakthrough every week. So far, I don't know of a single one that made it to reality.

They claim to be working on a fast, low-power ADC. Let's see.
