Rip you stallion
What more can I say but.. Neat?
Does beg the question on how radically changed computing would be today if it was released as a CPU when it first was developed.
Just because it exists does not mean it is commercially viable and would have been available. Stuff in labs and produced on small scales can absolutely be 30+ years ahead of commercially viable products. Take for example a quantum computer it is atleast 30 years ahead of something that would be viable to sell to someone to put in their living room. Quantum computing is maybe a really good example because the current science is disappointing but investment is going up implying 'secret physics'.
Things can be commercially viable apart from thd general consumer market though. Hospitals, banks, manufacturing plants, research institutions et.c. might put up money that no one else could for niche gear.
Yea like quantum computers and fighter jet chips.
