If solved
Post-Silicon Computers
Computers built on new materials and principles that need a fraction of today’s energy for the same work.
Open in the interactive tree →If 2D semiconductors, photonics or in-memory computing reached volume production, computing power could keep growing without electricity use growing at the same rate. That would relieve data centers and bring computing power to tiny devices.
What it brings
- AI training with a fraction of the energy
- Local AI in sensors, implants and tiny devices
- Continued growth in computing power after silicon stops shrinking
