A Little Clarification Please

Hey Guys, I consider myself to be better with computers then the Average north american but i still dont understand fully the many details of some computer components and possible future technology. This is where u guys come in. I found this article, (http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/09/18/intel_laser_chips/) and although it seemed interesting, i need someone to "translate" some things for me. First of all, what exactly is this chip planned to be used for, is it a layout for future processors or just north or southbridge type chips, or even a new purpose chip that would be added to future motherboards for a purpose we never had a chip for before? also did i read correctly that they plan on having 100 lasers on a chip, with each laser performing at 100GB/s meaning the chip would operate at 10,000 Gb/s???? any other info u feel would be relevant is more than welcome.

It's a new way of transfering data from one component to the other. It will replace the wiring that is considered the main bottlenecks in data transfer today. It is 5 years or more away into being commercially available. Don't know if this explains it, but it is how I read it.
