San Jose, Calif. -- U.S. microprocessor giant Intel says it has developed a chip that can send and receive information at incredible speeds using beams of light.

The California chip maker said the fingernail-size prototype can transfer 100 hours of digital music from one device to another in one second, the San Jose Mercury News reported Wednesday.

Eventually, such chips could transmit the contents of a laptop's hard drive in one second and the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in two minutes, the company says.
