Moore's Law is dead - can anyone think of a more cliche article title in the tech world?

      Hopefully sometime before 2038.

      That's too optimistic :P

      /1999|2\d{3}/ - "Dirk Hohndel, who was then the chief Linux and open-source technologist at Intel, predicted that in 1999, Linux would penetrate the PC desktop market and displace Windows."[1] [1] https://www.howtogeek.com/676963/why-desktop-linux-still-matters/ https://www.howtogeek.com/676963/why-desktop-linux-still-mat...

        People in 1999 could not imagine Android devices.

    That's a good one!

  Moore's Law is transisters per square mm or something like that. Just drop a second layer on top with 3d fabbing and im sure moore's law will go on for a decade. inbe4 we have 2,4,8,16,32 etc layer architectures in the future.

    You'll need to find ways to remove the heat form inner layers, or the whole pie will melt.

      If all you wanted was to deliver on the density you could just keep most transistors dark and still stay within the power budget. That's not very useful in general but maybe there are some aplications for it. AMD has been shipping their 3D VCache setup where they layer an extra cache only die on top of a CPU die. That's been benchmarking really well and is already an effective doubling that can be cooled with a normal PC setup. Maybe there's a few other tricks like that to get a few more vertical layers out of the same processes.
