I just checked the diagrams and I was more concerned about the durability of these gaafets compared to finfets.
Awful lot of "could", "maybe" and, "one day" in that article. It's neat to see folks in the lab cook up something new but there's a long way and a lot of hurdles between this and a functional chip. Especially one with the +40% performance and -10% power usage that they're claiming.
Don't the latest chips use 3d to stack more transistors in one spot?
