China’s ‘fastest-ever’ 2D chip beats Intel with 40% more speed
interestingengineering.com
Peking University researchers have developed a 2D transistor that operates 40% faster and uses 10% less energy than leading silicon chips.

    Again… I didn’t even read the article but “[redacted to remove bias] University researchers have developed [better] than leading [whatever].” is definitely interesting yet also pointless. Of course research is important, even fundamental, to the production process… but it’s not a fair comparison because production, at scale, and economically reliable requires a LOT more constraints!

    So the research, regardless of the source, is welcomed but comparing to production rather than comparing to other research labs pushing limits on the same dimensions is not useful.

    PS: for my starting “Again” see my post history.

    Edit : AFAICT “outperforms the most advanced commercial chips from […] Belgium’s Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre.” IMEC doesn’t do commercial chips, just research.
