Isn't the problem also that because of radiation, processors in space either need to have larger feature sizes OR additional shielding / redundancy? Seems like a pretty high price to pay for slightly cheaper energy...
Definitely not definitive but it's plausible current hardware could survive with minimal modification
my question was more whether the hardware would need extra redundancy or shielding in order to not have unacceptably high error rates
