Agreed. It's all magic to me but it seems like, if this breakthrough can keep Moore's Law chugging, it's worth a pretty penny. I'm surprised their stock isn't up more today.

The funny thing about silicon is a breakthrough is only worth anything if it doesn't cost practically anything! (on a per-chip basis)

Yes, and that's already included in Moore's law, which explicitly talks about costs per transistor.
