Kind of a big deal, and super cool. Theoretical limit on current technology is 3nm.

75% less power than 10nm chips at same performance sounds pretty cool to me.


Though worth clarifying, at this stage the chip is practically still theoretical, even though it physically exists. Production methods won't be reliable or cheap enough to mass-produce this for consumer electronics for a long while

Electron tunneling is a pretty severe issue at those scales, resulting in a ton of waste heat, so both.
