    Good deal on this motherboard.

    Makes sense you want to dedicated line for the high current devices, depending where you are as it varies but in North America it can be ridiculous like an absolute max of 12 outputs per 15 amp breaker so it only gives around 1800W max for the whole circuit. Most places I see never do that much cause you will see issues with overloading far too often. In older homes if they didn't think ahead and wired it to the max with lines in the kitchen and other places that have high current appliances tripping a breaker is pretty common.

    Interesting, we also have different gauges, called cross sectional area, e.g. 1.5mm², 1.75mm², etc, etc. But for mains I've only ever seen twin 'mains' used in residence. A standard overspec'ed conductor used because we have ring mains rather than radial like many other places. A few very high power appliances have their own runs though, like ovens and electrical boilers.

    Yeah in the north america there are multiple gauges of wiring used for different amperage of circuits from 15 - 50Amps since we don't fuse our electronics on the plug side.

    You can't just change the breaker and not the wiring your asking for a house fire if you leave the smaller wires but force more current through them.

    I'd say it's more worth the money to get your wiring fixed. If you are in Chicago as you say I don't think the power is going to be unstable, so a UPS is really unnecessary but old wiring can be dangerous.

    That is, if the conductors can takes any more current. But an electrician will be able to work that out.

    For them to be easier and more affordable they'd have to work on it. Personally I'd say they'll squeeze silicon until something like 2025, then they'll be stuck for 5-10 years on graphed and then well have good stuff.

    No I completely agree, but I'm just saying, just because the say 3nm now, doesn't mean it's right. PS they have made a transistor from a single atom in the past.

    Not necessarily. There are many rare elements used in tiny quantities in mass production.

    At some point you hit physical limits. Like it's not like you can always make it smaller all the time.

    It was only a few years ago 5nm was considered the smallest we could go, then IBM made a 5nm chip. So I think this is a we will see.

    This is great news as chips get smaller an smaller on the current format of One-dimensional wires. It is very hard to shrink silicon, so this material might make it easier to do so and increase performance substantially at the same time. 
     
    This could possibly mean it will be cheaper to make chips.
    This is good as it will make compatibility with current computer hardware, which is good compared to other two-dimensional materials. 
    I like how this is going to be the future of the computer chip. This is very interesting in my opinion. What do you think?
