If they could get it down to modern chip scale, does that mean you could run a processor very very fast and not generate heat? Or at least a lot less heat? So that would mean much faster clock speeds? What would be the limit on clock speed if you had a superconducting processor?
- visarga 3y agoNo, it only works for direct current. While superconducting processors could, in principle, operate more efficiently and perhaps at higher speeds than conventional processors, they won't be completely free of energy losses. AC can induce losses due to electromagnetic fields.
- Iulioh 3y agoYeah but sadly that would need a ungodly amount of research and time to implement, electric grids and engines would come much faster
- AlexandrB 3y agoI think a lot of the losses happen in the semiconductors in the CPU, not the wires. Even if LK-99 is a room temperature superconductor, it's probably not usable as a semiconductor.
