@Hezbollah Agent when did it start becoming defunct?

Technological growth is stuttered and mostly hinges on large discoveries

We are reaching the peak of current transistor technology for the materials used. Battery performance and power is a major unrelated bottleneck.

rip

@Blast a while ago

@Tea if you're concerned, the patter is still flowin like water from westend

Due to limitations in materials

double rip

Quantum stuff is what we are hoping for aye

Because we're reaching peak. We can't really double it anymore

Were getting to a point with it where we can't actually shrink the transistors bc of quantum tunnelling

silicon dont like being to thin

@lolfire it still is

aren't transistors becoming too small now?

yh

Cause Moore’s law was in regards to transistors and a few things not actual computational power

tbh the reason is that we still haven't found a new use for the increased transistor density... why keep rushing ahead if your uses can't keep up.

Moore's law has been dead since Haswell

@Blast yeah quantum tunnelling was becoming a problem

It is

Indeed

conventional transistors cant get smaller because electron tunnelling starts happening below 10nm

quantum and my brain just goes - what?

yeah, gotten to a point where transistors are hardly bigger than electron right?

Idk

and thats why we need quantum

@Spork molk aye

Yeah theyre tiny

we do

@AstroTorch yer mum's electron tunnelling starts happening below 10nm

@lolfire that was ages ago decades and it’s also defunct

quantum stuff won't replace our current tech anytime soon

am10

factually accurate

yo boi

Quantum computing is a long way off

quantum tunelling teleporting through ***REALLY*** small shit

Plus it’s also niche

qeeeza

It’s only better in some ways currently

@lolfire also i dont think quantum computing will become a commercial thing in a long time, probz only used in lab research
