Extrapolating feature size reductions every two years:
2010: 32nm,
2012: 22nm,
2014: 16nm,
2016: 11nm,
2018: Nanoelectronics/magic
Eight years away from the end of CMOS? That's mind-boggling, especially since the ITRS roadmap puts 11nm feature size out in 2022.
- mnemonicsloth 17y agoWait until you see what comes after. Everyone thinks DNA is just genetic material, but researchers can already build rigid 3D structures with it, or weave it into flat sheets and then address the individual nucleotides like pixels. The computers we use in 2025 will probably be self-assembled and might not be electronic, but they'll keep getting faster. http://metamodern.com/2009/05/22/a-third-revolution-in-dna-nanotechnology/ http://metamodern.com/2009/05/22/a-third-revolution-in-dna-n...
