The interesting part is not that a decades-old prediction was confirmed, but that it took this long to test - industrial question is whether it survives at wafer scale before it touches anything a person holds. If it does, the thing to watch is not a faster chip but a cheaper one — magnetism is how most cheap memory already works, so a third ordering is a materials question before it becomes a computing one. Which do you expect first: storage that gets denser, or logic that stops heating the room?
