Message: Intel to invest $50 million in quantum computer research

I'd like to know what Dr.T has to say about this comment.

D-Wave’s devices are one type of quantum computer, called an annealer, but it’s not the only type of quantum computer that might be theoretically constructed, nor universally the best for every kind of potential task. The challenges of building these devices, however, are considerable. Because quantum computation is extremely easy to disrupt, D-Wave uses liquid nitrogen to cool its hardware. Intel hasn’t stated which kind of devices it wants to investigate, but room-temperature quantum computing isn’t possible (at least, not as far as we know).
