Reversible computing founder: chips waste nearly all energy as heat as Moore's law turns negative
MikePFrank · x · 2026-10-05
In an interview teaser, Rodolfo Rosini argues almost all energy in a chip is wasted as heat and reversible computing can recover it. He describes finding an 'orphan problem' via a Wikipedia page — a field with experts but no companies — and warns that with AI colliding with Moore's law, we're hitting diminishing and soon negative returns. Full interview coming soon.
