    The team believes it is possible to make chips run at 1,000 Ghz, or one Terahertz, at room temperature.
    What do they base that on, given that they needed liquid helium to get this to run at half that speed?

    "At room temperature the experimental chips still managed to outperform standard silicon chips, running at about 350 billion calculations per second."
