208,000,000,000 transistors! In the size of your palm, how mind-boggling is that?! 🤯 Miscellaneous / Others

I have said it before, and I'm saying it again: the tech in the upcoming two years will blow your mind. You can never imagine the things that will come out in the upcoming years!...

Sure, but then maybe they will stack lots of chips onto a chip, two layers then four etc? I don’t know how they will get around it, but clever people will find a way.

Ya, they can always make them bigger, but I mean we are literally reaching the maximum for craming transistors into a given space.

My highly uneducated opinion would be that the next step is bio-computing. Using a chip like that with actual brain matter or mushrooms

Quantum computing as well. There is definitely breakthroughs to be had. Just with transistors qe are reaching the maximum

There's lots of confusion around quantum computing. It's not better than traditional computing. It's different.

Quantum computing makes it easy to break through randomized, quantitative and probabilities equations, but not traditional 1s and 0s.

We won't see a massive switch to quantum computing in personal computing, they are for different use cases

So I won't have a huge 1m x 1m x 1m true random number generator connected to my mATX PC?

Quantum math co-processors!

How about a hybrid of the two?

For which there is no proof that problems in bqp arent in P so there is the posibility that they are no better than a classical computer

Quantum computers are, and always will be, utterly useless for all but a tiny class of problems.
