Graphene vs. Silicon

Install gentoo

Single atom processing instead of electron flow, also less heat output

>in comparison with silicon, and why haven't we been using it in products yet?/
Very hard to produce large quantities of sheet graphene, while single crystal silicon can grown with relative ease.

Then where are the graphene CPUs?

Check. Mate.

>>61766547
phonons have a better time propagating through graphene and silicon. Also graphene has much better electrical conductivity, thermal dispersion, and can make small FETs

Yet the possibility exists to create graphene components right now. Why don't companies make luxury branded graphene CPUs/GPUs now to offset the cost then release more consumer friendly versions later down the line when it's more affordable to mass produce?

No, graphene tranistors and still in their infancy stage.
Also to get the full benefits of graphene semi conductors would require us to perfect sub 5nm node manufacturing. Something which is a few years away.

I don't think they're able to actually produce working CPU's yet.

AFAIU (not a lot...), the problem is producing graphene at will. you can make transistors with chemicals processes, graphene isn't easily controllable.. yet

Waiting for proper production line.

Sales volume on multi thousand dollar processors is low, sales volume on multi million dollar processors would be non-existent

What kind of shit is this, a single atom is carbon not graphene
