With a 100Pbit/s internet connection, you could download the entire game in about 9600 nanoseconds less than a millisecond, just 0.0000096 seconds. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most popular games on Steam right now, and it’s also one of the biggest, packing a hefty 120GB file size. We mean ludicrous we did some math on this one to prove it.

If Google can't sort out widespread fiber internet, what hope does this gaggle of Danes and Swedes have? (Image credit: Google) Faster than speedġ00 petabits per second is an absolutely ludicrous internet speed. What that means is that the technology could be feasibly shrunk down to the size of a matchbox, and should theoretically be able to achieve massively faster speeds once the hardware is perfected.Īsbjørn Arvad Jørgensen, one of the researchers, claimed that ‘Our calculations show that-with the single chip made by Chalmers University of Technology, and a single laser-we will be able to transmit up to 100 Pbit/s’. This new solution is far more compact, but more importantly, it’s scalable. Now, petabit internet speeds have been achieved in the past as reported by NewScientist, the previous record for optical data transmission was actually 10.66 petabits per second, but this required a ton of bulky equipment.
