This has limited applications. It doesn't have a viable path to being used in a CPU or GPU. So we're not going to see a zillion-fold increase in compute speeds from this. Maybe some physicists find it useful for an experiment, but the average joe won't notice anything different about the world.
OP's link is about a photonic transistor using graphene. Your link is about making interconnects using individual LEDs and fibers in parallel instead of putting multiple wavelengths on one fiber. They are only superficially related.
