        i think it just means that once you optimize the hardware close to what physics allows, you have to consider all kinds of strange phenomena appearing. like, quantum physics, electrons tunneling around, the internal resistance value of the wire antenna, etc.

        it’s not just “logic gates”, by far not. e.g. consider the magnetic flux in magnetic storage disks.

          We have 1.7 nm processes now. That’s like 10 atoms of Si. Foundries are increasingly magic crystal forges

          But what if we don’t do that but instead optimize hardware and software for the tasks? Hackers run 3D games on microcontrollers…

            Yep, that’s exactly what we should do (alongside finding a way to cool better our stuff and make drives faster which is usually the biggest bottleneck)
            But it seems that the industry does not agree for some idiotic reason

        It would be better with a charge-carrier diffusion diagram, but your computer is also full of very strong magnetic fluxes, changing all the time and interacting with each other.
