Which we will either be unable or unwilling to manufacture domestically. I would assume Master Xi’s minions already have the necessary information to produce these chips.

Decades ago, I read an article about IBM making money of their patents. One of their patents was for the screen cursor.

Maybe they can use that to help the microasians and the nanoasians.

Changing all of their servers to 2 nm-based processors could potentially reduce that number significantly.Oh. IBM announcing fewer computers would be needed - AGAIN!

2 nanometers is 4 atoms of silicon wide. At what point do they call it a quantum computer?

Quadrupling cell phone battery life, only requiring users to charge their devices every four days.Nope. The designers will simply make the batteries smaller so the phone can be thinner.
I have an ebook tablet that I use quite a bit. It wouldn't bother me a bit if the stupid thing were a half-inch thicker if I could get more than a weeks worth of reading out of it. Also, it would feel more like a book.

Maybe I should buy some IBM stocks. they have been real laggatds lately. Thing is, they also have a history of screwing things up as they did with Bill Gates and Microsoft.

To: Reeses
Right, at scales that small, there is risk of your laptop becoming quantumly entangled with Schrodinger’s cat. Just imagine the spellcheck hijinks that could cause!
To: SunkenCiv
Very significant.
Also, one could make a terrific diffraction grating with that technology.

It is closer to four silicon unit cells, ( the repeat distance in Si crystals) which is a little different, but still mind boggling.
All semiconductor based computers are based on applied quantum mechanics. Transistors are based on bandgaps, Fermi level, all that. So in that sense the answer is, always.
But really, “Quantum computer” is a term of art, a machine computing using states which are superpositions (qubits). In that sense, they cannot shrink a conventional computer and make a quantum computer, so the answer is never.
Good question that makes you think!
