Up to this point being firmly in the camp that Moore's law is not dead - this is first data point that convincing enough for me to reconsider my stance. The problem is not that SRAM is important or not. SRAM cell is basically one of the simplest circuit actually doing something useful, where most things important for actual design are in play (not only transistors size, but also its parameters, parastics, manufacturability etc). Also since it is so simple and important circuit it is hard to argue it was not optimized to the moon and beyond. If this do not scale - girl we are in trouble. ) Although signs of slow down were plenty beforehand if you squint your eyes it was possible to attribute it to Intel dropping ball and rest of industry catching up its 1.5 generation lead. (Industry converging back to long term trend).
