Well from what I could find it suggests around 10+ years of usage. Not only is it long lasting, but it's incredibly thin meaning far more transistors can be stored in one location. To top it off with that level of movement it could substation ally cut down on power usage. While it probably will mean the big companies will simply scale up in terms of capacity and their power usage will remain the same. It also mean in years to come when it hits the consumer level we could have phones and computers that overheat less and have a better battery life.
