better insulator and conductor = better.
Since graphene sheets can be engineered to different conductivities using different rapping coordinate, carbon involvement in future electronic fabrication is definitely desirable.
However, it won't be cheap
However, if you wanna pack more transistors, you are really limited to the wire-size.
32nm gate size for example, you need wires around 1nm, and the length of wiring can be kilometers long. The interconnects get more and more tedious as the gate size shrinks, so the clock speed limitation is as simple as most people think.
