And because graphene is essentially a two - dimensional material, building smaller devices with it and controlling the flow of electricity within them are easier than with three - dimensional alternatives
like silicon transistors.
You could use them the same way as you would a silicon transistor but with higher performance —
like silicon transistor chips.
Not exact matches
CNT FETs work
like traditional
transistors, but use carbon nanotubes instead of
silicon.
In this scenario, each
silicon photodetector is
like a bucket that collects light, after which the
transistors read the information in that bucket to generate each image, says Ted Sargent, InVisage's founder and chief technology officer.
And just
like a sponge, the particles are squishy, up to a thousand times less rigid compared to the usual crystalline
silicon found in solar cells and
transistors.
Transistor count alone can't be used to judge «power» as such (though that's what Moore's Law is based on) but it's safe to say there'd need to be a huge amount of efficiency gains to produce anything
like the same amount of processing power as the 360 with that
silicon budget.»
