So what's the difference between graphene and graphite? I would guess that graphene is the primary compound in a piece of graphite rock?
Hmmm. Maybe I should hold off on buying a render farm node (just kidding).
As I have mentioned in another thread the future of computer chips are "grown", not etched.

Above link shows us the possibility of future generation (sub 10nm) chips may be based on grown Graphene.

Above link contains more scientific terms on the mass grown Graphene process.

Above link outlines the stretchability of Graphene-based electronics.

Above link tells us that Graphene can also be bend, with more interesting characteristics.

Above link: Back in 2008 the industry already know of the fact that electrons travel 100 times faster on Graphene than on Silicon.

Above link: IBM has tested Graphene to be able to go upwards to 100 Gigahertz.

With Graphene memory can be 1000 times more dense than what is available today.
Happy reading !

Graphene and Graphite are just differently arranged carbon.
