Well it depends - if you are transmitting data content, then 1pS would be OK

I thought about whether to say 0.5 pS vs 1 pS when I wrote the initial comment, but decided to lowball and stick to 1pS. (but strictly speaking, you're right)

One interesting aspect of switching speeds this fast is that on chip microstrip lines will likely be needed for any interconnects longer than about 25-50um (assuming trace lengths risetime/propagation delay should be length/6).

Is this a standard practice in any of todays chips?

Does anyone foresee any difficulties in terms of transistor density because of this?
