    just how small can transistor size on a chip get?

    Just remember that 3 nm number has nothing to do with nodes. 10nm node minimum pitch is 32 nm. Edit: For Intel. For others it's all a clusterfuck.

    IBM Offering Access To Its Quantum Computer

    I mean you can use quantum tunneling transistors The Tunneling Transistor - IEEE Spectrum which use a quantum phenomena but still operate in a classical way with classical information. A quantum computer must store and operate on quantum information and that's just not as relevant for a lot of...

    IBM Offering Access To Its Quantum Computer

    Sure it can handle everyday tasks but why would you want it to? Quantum computers offer probabilistic answers and quantum information is not permanent you have perhaps milliseconds before your qubit state decays. We can make billions of classical gates for 100 dollars which are just as good at...

    IBM Offering Access To Its Quantum Computer

    Yeah we'll have both old and new for a long while. Quantum computing is great at a lot of specialty things but it's never going to be cheaper to run word on a quantum computer than a classical computer. If anything it will take the place of some supercomputers along with other specialized...

    IBM Offering Access To Its Quantum Computer

    You can't ask how fast it is because that's missing the point. In a conventional processor your clock speed determines the time to answer a question, in a quantum computer the number of operations you can perform determines instead the accuracy with which you can answer that question...

    Windows 10 Home Edition May Force Updates On You

    Windows 10 will retrieve and install driver updates including for your video cards. Both NVIDIA and AMD currently have their latest drivers on windows update. You can turn off the feature if you want to use beta drivers or what have you, but at least by default it's on for all the people who...

    Intel Buying Altera For $16.7B

    If I had to guess it's because they're betting on FPGA's / ASICS becoming huge for research. I know that some groups have already moved over to ASICS for MD simulations so it's not surprising that Intel would bet that more simulations will also begin to transition to ASICS. Check out Anton by D...

    "Intel forges ahead to 10nm, will move away from silicon at 7nm"

    Yep EUV is not only a mess it is not cost competitive with multipatterning using 193. That's the main issue. Most companies are looking at multiple exposure LE^N to keep going forward. I've posted about EUV before here and what a clusterfuck it is. If people are interested I can go dig it up.

    'Miracle' Tech Turns Water into Fuel

    A barrel of gas a day eh? 120 L in a barrel so let's pretend we're making octane (Just for shits n gigs) that means we need 739 moles of octane. So we need 8 times that amount of Carbon Monoxide (because 8 carbons in an octane) so 5912 mols of CO. In order to get that you as a user would have to...

    'Miracle' Tech Turns Water into Fuel

    Different. The navy is working in a more developed area, that of the Fischer-Tropsch process. All they have to worry about is extracting the necessary reactants from sea water. I'm guessing they are probably splitting water to get hydrogen/oxygen and dumping the oxygen while keeping the...
