A lot of people seem to be mentioning the 'size' of electrical transistors, but this seems to fail to include complexity scaling (which is non-linear)? The lower complexity of optical chips (due to large switch sizes) can be made up by the faster switching speeds, which boast a linear increase in performance if I'm not mistaken? Really interesting paper! Edit: Advantages of multiplexing are very real too!
