Nope, Moore's Law is over.
We run into wavelength-of-light issues around 400 nanometers. There's really no practical way to go beyond that. I can provide tons of citations from top engineers stating we're done here. You might have some processes with e-beam lithography, but it's just too expensive and slow for anything outside super-specialized uses.
Fortunately, that's gotten us to the 200MHz Pentium Pro, with 5 million transistors. Seems like that's plenty good enough for what most people would want to do with computers.
- chaorace 6y agoI think it's more accurate to say that die shrinkage is over. Moore's Law still has a fighting chance, we just have to wait and see what the clever engineers at AMD, Intel, Qualcom, et al. do about it. Of course, with 5 million transistors of pure power, I also see no need for further improvements.
