Texas Instruments introduced its first 6.25 Gbps CMOS serial link product. The device has eight 6.25Gbps bi-directional serial data channels on the sharp end and sixteen 3.125Gbps serial data channels on the blunt end, providing 100 Gbps data throughput. TI said its design could extend the life span of today’s XAUI (10G Ethernet) backplanes by increasing port densities, thus preserving technology investments made by the system manufacturers. http://www.ti.com

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about CMOS. Here is what it replaced:
ECL / bipolar mainframe logic served 1960–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
ECL / bipolar mainframe logic emitter-coupled logic switched non-saturating bipolar transistors for raw speed, at the cost of running hot and power-hungry - used where speed beat all else (mainframes, Cray supercomputers). Its job passed to CMOS — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
