Re the enquirer thing, did intel actuallly say room temp, all I can tell is that they said 23% less heat, not quite roomtemp unless you have some good cooling.
Tigeroats, quantum computing is not 2 years off, they have found that atoms can be quantumly linked, they have done this with less than a dozen atoms a time, these lasted a very short amount of time, and they are still not sure what they can do with them, they are pretty much useless with sequantial logic. You tend to wreck the setup when you read the answer, large amounts of ram are needed.

To that end, the company will design circuits which will use a new design of arithmetic logic unit (ALU) to reduce circuitries, and is now capable of demonstrating a 5GHz chip at .13 micron process technology which can operate at room temperature. The test chip shows active power reduced by 23 per cent, and standby leakage reduced by 3.5 times.

It says POWER is reduced by 23% not temp.

The Inquirer is actually pretty acurate. It isn't the off the magazine rack Inquirer!!! It is a real computer news site.
