Unless matter is infinitely divisible, the end of Moore's law is inevitable.
- Symmetry 7y agoYes, there's probably a limit to how small you can make a transistor. But there are far more fundamental limits to computation, such as how efficient it's possible for a boolean operation to be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle
- deepnotderp 7y agoReversible computing or dumping the information to spin can get around the landauer limit. The Margolus Levitin theorem is more brutal.
- deepnotderp 7y agoGo up! At 5nm transistor thickness there's an entire Moore's law left.
