What about heat? Area that small operating that fast would generate an intense amount of heat.


In another only-slightly-related article (about Graphene Memory developed at Rice), they note that graphene based trasistors require 1/1,000,000th the switching power (because they leak less), and operate successfully from -75C to 200C, so it might not be an issue.

But really this is totally speculation until someone builds one.
