On what metric? It has to be something very theoretical and irrelevant to actual processor performance. It just doesn't mean anything.

I don't know, but the material in the article has about 6 times more electron mobility. There's factors that end up reducing the difference, but they're not equals.
Look at how long we have had crappy resolution screens, but next year we'll start to see a drastic increase resolutions because of IGZO displays.
...and lower hole mobility, there's no free lunch
