Diamond transfers heat 22 times better than silicon (Si), and 5 times better than copper. It can carry over two million times more current than Si as a conductor, and can be tuned to drive circuits up to 400 gigahertz--Si can only handle single-digit frequencies. And it can do all this with a layer over a thousand times thinner than a Si layer of equivalent capability. When it's perfected as a basis for chip manufacture, it will revolutionize the industry.

We're talking layers of diamond measured in nanometers of thickness. Slicing and dicing diamond components just isn't doable, IMHO.
