>Looks great, but ignores the fact that transistors don’t scale like they used to. Remember, the point of near-threshold voltage and the research into replacing silicon is intended to move the bar forward bit by bit, not to re-enable the classic Dennard scaling of the 1980s and 1990s. That era is gone, and nothing short of a miracle material that fulfills all the roles of silicon will ever bring it back. Incremental changes in architecture do not have to equate to incremental changes in capability. Replacing silicon with a different substrate can introduce new time complexities for old problems. For example, mapping neural models onto memristors could scale better than mapping same models onto traditional silicon. Mapping quantum physics models onto qbits will scale better than mapping same models onto silicon. Mapping protein folding onto protein based computers could... and so on.
