..and they just replaced Silicon with Bizmuth in another study (>500ghz, smaller, more efficient). The West have already lost the ideological competitive race they still fantasize about..
I’m seeing more like 7ghz for the bismuth stuff, still really good but nothing completely insane like 500 ghz. Do you have a source for that?
Oh, the 500ghz is the max theoretical switching (0<>1) limit for Bismuth itself, not for any production chip any time soon, sorry about that. I saw it in either the paper or at 'Anastasia in Tech' on youtube. (worth following if interested in chip development).
From what I can find, the ratio of 'theoretical speed' to current commercial ICs in silicon is about 1:20, so that would equate to about a 25GHz chip, all other things being equal (i.e. if that ratio isn't some inherent feature of silicon...)
