In 2011, Intel demonstrated a solar powered Pentium chip- they remade the 1994 Pentium it on 32nm. But it was a demo only. The reason it's been so "demo" for over 10 years is because no one thinks solar is possible to run anything portable, but no one questions why so much investment is focused on the latest graphics cards and AI chips like the A100. If there was more consumer demand, you'd see it released yesterday. The solar calculator in 1978 was far more advanced for its time, but now you have most people laughing at such an idea for a few hundred thousand more transistors. Sad.
