I can't believe the company resuscitated a 40-year-old chip plant - with a CEO who similarly looks like he was frozen in a block of ice since the 80s - and are selling out new wafers to help such a confused industry. Neat if it works, I guess, but it's a shame these innovations aren't passing down to users (unless somehow, less energy turns into less usage and less taxpayer subsidization, but usually [efficiency increases just go the other way](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox)).
