Controlling electrons using silicon is quantum physics, i never said it was going to be quantum computing.

Directing atoms to travel down tiny fiber optics to remove some of the resistance copper has will double or even triple the current speed of CPU's.

It's like putting a tiny internet web inside the silicon and removing need of copper traces. The bandwidth would improve immensely and caching would be near instant. This would also make silicon last god knows how long because they can just keep improving 10 nm forever.

I'm having trouble understanding what you mean.

Im guessing the 2.5 more effective, combined with another slide that says HDR 1080 better than 4k... means the cards will be 5% more powerfull that this gen, but a bit more efficient. So no mid-range 4k gaming soon

Also my 6th sense says the 14nm parts and HBM2 will probably be reserved for the top parts only. Mid range maybe HBM1 at best, or the new GDDR5. Also most likely 28nm wont go away this year. 470 ( or even 480) might be 28nm aswell?
