It will find a niche somewhere, but don’t expect it to show up in consumer
products for quite awhile. For example, GaAs and GaN have both been
around for over a decade and their applications are still quite spotty:
compared to classical silicone, the wafers are smaller & more expensive,
plus you can easily blow through a couple Million just to optimize one’s
manufacturing to get yields up.
