And just like everything graphene, it’ll take 10 years before they can manufacture it at scale, and the cost will be outrageous. 
Still, pretty cool.
So what? It took 15+ years for "5nm" chips to be produced. China just made some last year which is a development the West thought incredibly fast.
I think most of us are ignorant to just how far behind consumer electronics are to things happening in the lab. Maybe in 15 years graphene chips will be all the rage.
