        I read the article. analog chips haven’t been around a hundred years. There is no 100 year barrier. It’s a made up term.

        worlds most precise is a relative term. Whichever one came before this was ‘the world’s most precise’ analog chip.

          You can argue about there being a 100 year barrier in analog computing, not in analog chips. Analog computing is old and it became obsolete because of reasons, some of them stated in the article, and it hasn’t really been used all that much in the past century as a consequence. The claim of the article is that this may change, but I’m not knowledgeable on the topic
