... an I/O technology that hits 2.2 mW/Gbit/s, however it is only characterized to work at 6 Gbits/s.

So, how many electrons per bit is that? Someone figure that out for me please.

joules != coulombs, nub

Fine, at 1V differential

13 731 321.5 electron/bit @ 1V

A far more interesting question is how many electrons to turn on a 45nm transistor. Or 25nm. I'm sick of discussing features in terms of mW.

I do like discussing capacitance in terms of meters.
