On: Korg and Noritake Introduce Futuristic Nutube Vacuum Tubes

[serf]

I wonder what a tube-on-a-chip computer could do, as far as performance/size.

There were a few articles last year about microscopic vacuum transistors:

Could be the next big thing in computing. Or not. Only time will tell.

I'm sure these Korg tubes are designed for amplification not for computing.

With enough gain, anything can be used for computing!
