This is the sort of thing I read and think to myself "go check HN comments where someone smart will explain this in layman's terms"

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.
