Although I'd expect the number of transistors manufactured to keep growing for some time... the exponential growth of this "collective pursuit" appears to be limited. I wouldn't even claim that it is necessarily limited by technology (although it appears to be), but it is certainly limited by investment. Since investment typically follows the ITRS roadmap, announcements like this have a huge effect on future growth. https://www.hpcwire.com/2016/07/28/transistors-wont-shrink-beyond-2021-says-final-itrs-report/ https://www.hpcwire.com/2016/07/28/transistors-wont-shrink-b...
