i5 or i7?

Graphine has nothing to do with the transistors, it is a replacement wafer.

Quote:Therefore no, i7s don't necessarily have more cores than i5s, in fact they usually don't.

Sorry about that, the sentence was unclear, but yeah, you are right.

Quote:But trigate technology hasn't made a big difference to power dissipation.......

That was just one example, but every little helps.

Now can we end this argument. What I originally said was about the heat resistance of graphine over silicon, which is the main reason for it being a possibility. I did not intend to have to prove that graphine would fix every problem ever about anything, because obviously it doesn't. Nothing that I have said has actually been wrong, just easily misunderstood, or slightly misleading. Can we just accept that graphine is a good choice if you intend to build a computer inside a pizza oven, and may or may not have some use in real life situations.

Yes, I will accept THAT statement.

Correct, I just fixed my post.

Yes, you're right, graphene, not graphine. I've seen it written incorrectly somewhere, and seem to have committed that misspelling to memory. Now to remove the misspelt version from Chrome's custom dictionary. What a brilliant use of the next few minutes, trawling through settings menus.
