> A superconductor instantly changes the calculus and, depending on whom you ask, makes processors 500x more efficient. And that's just the start.
I'm excited too, but "instantly" is not how I'd describe retooling semiconductor fabrication to include a new material. Besides, nobody has claimed that you can dope silicon with it.
But since we're dreaming, I'm hoping it'll make doing plasma physics cheaper (via simpler superconducting magnets) which will then make nuclear fusion power plants feasible.
