The Fastest Computer Setup On Earth

Is your computer lagging? Does it take 20 minutes to start-up your PC? Days to download a movie? Weeks to print a few colour photos? Well providing you have enough disposable income, or well-placed family members, the technology is available to make computer-related waiting times a thing of the past. Sure, the technology we’re going to show you will probably be outdated by the time you’ve saved up enough cash to get your hands on it, but it’s good to drool.

The World’s Fastest Desktop PC


At £3'940, the YOYOtech Fi7epower MLK1610v certainly doesn’t claim to be the cheapest PC in the world, however what it does claim to be is the world’s fastest PC after recently breaking the world record in the industry standard SPEC CPU2006 benchmark tests. The innards of this system are of such high quality that were you to purchase just the 9GB of DDR3 memory and Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition processor, it would set you back close to £2'000. If the hardware itself isn’t speedy enough for you, also included with the PC is an embedded operating system called ExpressGate. It boots up from cold in 5 seconds.

The World’s Fastest Desktop Printer


Within the next few months, home printing technology will be revolutionized. Memjet Technologies have for the past few years been developing print engine components which will enable full color A4 printing at a ridiculously speedy 60 pages per minute, a rate far greater than any desktop inkjet printers currently on the market. So what’s the secret behind this dazzling speed? Basically, the printerhead, rather than sliding across the page from left to right as with normal inkjet printers, Memjet’s is designed to span the width of the page itself, negating the need for any movement on its part and resulting in much faster ink deployment via approximately 70'000 nozzles.



The World’s Fastest Residential Internet Connection

Imagine being able to download a full length, High Definition movie in 2 seconds rather than 2 days. Now imagine that internet connection has been piped into the home of a 75 year old woman who has never used the world wide web before, let alone got to grips with the idea of downloading anything. That’s what happened last year in Sweden when IT whiz Peter Löthberg installed a 40Gbps connection in his mother Sigbritt’s home - the world’s fastest ever residential internet connection - in order to show that there are other methods than the old fashioned ways such as copper wires and radio, which lack the possibilities that fibre has. Let’s just hope she had a computer sturdy enough to cope with those kind of download speeds.
