It is a constant theme to say that Moore's party is over. But there are massive $$ incentives to maintain it and it is likely to continue in some form or another -- either in terms of power consumption, multiple cores, specialized instructions, etc.
I figure that chips will become much more 3D, almost like cubes, instead of flat rectangles, with just enough freespace to allow for cooling of one sort or another.
Graphene and other substrates that allow for faster chips at cooler temperatures is also a good bet for future chip improvements.
