"Chinese scientists develop world's fastest, most efficient transistor, surpassing those by Intel, TSMC, Samsung and the Belgian Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre, when placed under the same operating conditions... circumvents silicon-based technology entirely"

TSMC's 2nm chip: 10%–15% faster at same power level or 20%–30% reduced power usage at same speed, transistor density increased about 15% over 3nm chips
