Anyone remember Java 3D? 'cause I'm imagining Java 3D!
Does superconductivity remove or reduce the limit on die size?
Given the cooling requirements, I suppose it would create completely impassable rift between datacenter computing and other kinds. Imagine how programming and operating systems might look in a world where processing power is 80x cheaper. Considering that "data centers alone consume 2% of world's enegy", I think it's worth it.
I can see demand in areas like graphics. Imagine real-time raytracing at 8K at 100+ FPS with <10ms latency.

The thickness of the required insulating barrier presents a hard lower limit to the structure size.
The actual value of that limit depends on the material used and the particular implementation of the Josephson junction, of which there seems to be quite a few.
So the limit depends on how thin the barrier can be made.

I don't understand your reference. It seems negative, but it's hard imho to go down on the success of Minecraft. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Subtitle from the link: > The 2.5 GHz prototype uses 80 times less energy than its semiconductor counterpart, even accounting for cooling (emphasis mine)
Yeah, but only at datacenter scales. > Since the MANA microprocessor requires liquid helium-level temperatures, it’s better suited for large-scale computing infrastructures like data centers and supercomputers, where cryogenic cooling systems could be used.
