Whats the advantage of post silicone chips?

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Graphene transistors have shown to clock in THz and require less energy than silicone counterparts. First step to real quantum computers (computing by manipulating quantum states) too. C is loved there.

It's by your comment that I've now finally realised the C-alternative programming language Carbon was named as a nod to the name and element C

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, i think that's entirely because the precursors were A and B.

I'm not talking about C itself, I'm talking about the programming language Carbon, aimed at being a compatible alternative 😅
