As it quite often happens it's better to read wikipedia article:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene>

than to suffer through things like "substance found in pencils"

I hate how science writers get to the part of the article where they have to
write about why it is useful. They usually start dipping into their stock
cliché material. This one is particularly bad. The whole last half of the
article is junk.

Check this out, it sounds like it might be fairly near term stuff, e.g.
Fujitsu is depositing it on Si wafers, IBM has preliminary (large and
hopefully slow) 30GHz test transistors, which is where Si maxes out according
to a linked article at the bottom.
