The future can.
The application of optical chips to processors such as mobile phones, notebooks, and desktops, completely replacing the mainstream silicon-based chips in the market, has always been the direction of development in the field of science and technology. So far, the research and application of optical chips are still in a small range, and have not replaced silicon chips. With the advancement of science and technology, that day will come.
The optical chip is still in the development stage, and if it is successfully developed, it can replace the silicon chip.
