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.

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.

Very significant.

Also, one could make a terrific diffraction grating with that technology.
