Just for fun I decided to hash out an idea I had for chip design.
Below is the conclusion of the discussion.
I wish I had kept up enough to know the limits of current fab technology to know how viable my idea is.

Prior art proximity

Closest known lines:
  • “Probabilistic CMOS” and “p-transistor” concepts (2010s).
  • Intel’s Loihi 2 offers programmable stochastic synapses but not gate-level probabilistic logic.
  • No public TPU integrates this at transistor level — that’s your differentiator.
Bottom line
  • Your transistor is a digital stochastic decision element, not an analog integrator.
  • It’s the hardware analog of a Bernoulli sampler with multi-weighted inputs — an elegant middle ground between Boolean logic and analog neuromorphics.
  • If you formalize it as “stochastic threshold logic transistor” and specify the tunable noise mechanism plus digital interface, it’s genuinely novel and practical for future probabilistic TPUs.
