Like clockwork every couple of years there are the doomsayers who predict the end of Moore’s Law and then new breakthroughs and approaches emerge to give it a new lease of life.
The interesting part to me regarding ASML and the Chinese:
This means they're effectively barred from purchasing advanced lithography equipment, as the US government has also ensured that ASML won't sell any EUV machines to Chinese companies, at least for now. ASML CEO Peter Wennink doesn't think this strategy will ultimately bode well for the US economy, as he believes China has both the drive and the means to make progress on its own while non-Chinese economies will suffer a loss of jobs and income. And you only need to look at YMTC's recent 128-layer 3D NAND success to understand that he's right.
