It’s still bonded to silicon carbide…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they’re making hold up. But it’s grown on silicon wafers. “Post-silicon chips” feels somewhat misleading here
Yeah, they mean in terms of the limitations if silicone, specifically the gate sizes and other properties. If the whole chip is silicone then you are bound by those limitations, but by changing to carbon things can be smaller and more efficient, allowing better computation with less waste heat.
Silicon and silicone are two very different things, just FYI. But that does make sense
Damn autocorrect, yes, absolutely, thanks for that
Whats the advantage of post silicone chips?
Graphene transistors have shown to clock in THz and require less energy than silicone counterparts. First step to real quantum computers (computing by manipulating quantum states) too. C is loved there.
It’s by your comment that I’ve now finally realised the C-alternative programming language Carbon was named as a nod to the name and element C
No, i think that’s entirely because the precursors were A and B.
I’m not talking about C itself, I’m talking about the programming language Carbon, aimed at being a compatible alternative 😅
I’ll wait when i see an actual product. I’ve been hearing about the wonders of graphene for the better part of a decade at least now.
