Will it be EMP resistant?
Don’t ask how I know but IBM is probably 10 years behind Intel.
I’m also pretty sure nanotubes are not compatible with FinFet technology.
IBM is great at coming up with new ideas.
They are very bad at execution and bringing them to production.
The problem seems to be similar to old Sun Microsystems.
It is run by big iron Server group and the Semiconductor side isn’t valued...until the circuits don’t work as expected.

Carbon based chips “should” be more compatible with internal applications such as the upcoming iBrain Cyber Brain.
10,000 times smaller? Means what, exactly? And was that an RCH, a BCH, or what?
Right in there with 400% less. Must be common core gibberish.
Why not just use the fraction?
For a context of how microelectronics have shrunk over the years:
Originally, transistors were somewhere around 7mm wide.
One of the historical great CPUs was the Motorola 68000, which crammed 68,000 transistors into the same 7mm square.
Now we can build a M68000 small enough to fit into the space of one of _those_ transistors - ramming 68,000 M68000 CPUs into the same 7mm square.
Al gore’s latest invention?
Built out of carbon?
Strange microscopic times!
Sheldons idea was to use carbon nanotubes for a shelf for a rocket to the space station. Nice that someone took that idea and made transistors.
