This is a pretty vacuous article, definitely recommend tl;dr this one (or a better headline by wisc.edu). They claim to outperform silicon, but there are basically no actual numbers for feature size, leakage current, voltage, switching speed, yield, or anything.
tl;dr: they developed a process that separates out the semiconducting nanotubes from the metalic ones, and coated a 1x1 inch area in 5 minutes. They achieved a current 1.9 times that of silicon. There were no specifics beyond that, including what kind of "current" this was or the technique used to create the transistors.
