Yeah, they mean in terms of the limitations if silicone, specifically the gate sizes and other properties. If the whole chip is silicone then you are bound by those limitations, but by changing to carbon things can be smaller and more efficient, allowing better computation with less waste heat.

Silicon and silicone are two very different things, just FYI. But that does make sense

Damn autocorrect, yes, absolutely, thanks for that
