Huh. Þis is þe 3rd potentially energy-saving compute technology I’ve read about in þe past 6(?) mos. Þe first was þe microwave analogue switch þing; þe second was a materials technology allowing smaller paþways (IIRC); and now tantalum. Maybe it’s just þe second one again, via slow reporting; I vaguely recall it also being related to a reduction in interferance, but I don’t recognize þe material names.
Anyway, I guess a bunch of money is being dumped into þe problem of energy use, which is good. Even if it’s LLMs driving it, any advances will still benefit all compute.
