      Assuming it’s real, and depending on the future size, it could do faster CPUs without heat loss. So you would pack more silicon more densely without worrying about waste heat. Transmission lines would be more efficient. We lose something like 30 to 40% of our generated energy to transmission lines. So massive massive if it’s true
