40 percent greater performance than today's 10nm chips, or a 75 percent power savings at the same performance.

That is mind blowing. Hardly anything improves at that rate. The only other thing that comes to mind is fiber optic communications development in the 90s. The optical physics researchers were coming up with incredible breakthroughs in every component required to build an optical communication system.

The stock scam that is ibm I believe wants to be aquired by Apple. Then it can be cool again to get Big beefy mainframe. System z seems pretty cool. Watson should figure a way to make a profit with out all the service licensing agreement skullduggery. When was their last profitable quarter?
