Enthusiastic claims by the university blog assert that a 1-meter fiber “could hold millions of transistors, reaching the power levels of a standard desktop computer processor.” But, we had to go back as far as the Intel Pentium III or AMD K6-2 to find PC CPUs with so few transistors. Both those legendary CPUs launched in the late 1990s, and they feature a smidgen under 10 million transistors each.
but that seems trivial when you take into accout:
The finished fiber has a tiny diameter, measuring about 50um.
What I really want to know is how its connected and how hot does it get. Im envisioning a spiral of coil that can be on a meshe with a fan blowing right out the case. That would be amazing. Or if it needs more connections then a series of parralell lengths. Its like could you put them on top of each other with mesh that acts as a good conduction or having every other water cooling channels?
Instead of comparing it to desktop computers, let’s compare it to the ESP processor lines. Imagine an ESP device that is made much thinner, lighter, more power efficient, and less likely to crush. Imagine circuitry interlaced into clothing. The horrorsbenefits are endless.
so they say this:
