Actually useful reversible logic is, as they say, an open problem.
- akuma73 10y agoMy point was that a new transistor shrink would give you lower power vs. the same transistor in previously larger node. You get more compute-per-watt with small transistors. If scaling stops, then all kinds of things get more difficult.
