Smallest-Ever Nanotube Transistors Outperform Silicon

Don't worry, Carbon Valley will replace it. Seeing how I'm sure a lot of electronics will use Carbon instead of Silicon.

What are manufacturers going to do about the "memory wall"? Improving the CPU is already becoming redundant due to the limitations of memory speeds.

Memory as in RAM, guys.

Memory wall? Holographic Memory?

SSDs, fiber optic interconnects.

and then desktops were laptops

im gonna be honest if laptops that performed as well as desktops were around and were cheap and could be built, maintained, etc. just as easily, and their keyboards were not stupid, then i would definitely have one

Cost is going to be an important factor in their success. I was recently reading up on how the transistor came to be so widely used and it was due mostly to the fact that it was insurmountably cheap compared the tasks that you could accomplish with it. If, and only if, there is an efficient and cost-effective method of mass-producing the nanotubes will it become mainstream as transistors did.

I was thinking storage memory...
