We are getting closer and closer to physical limitations of current microchip technology. Even TSMC starting to slip schedules is not really surprising.

- cubefox 4y agoWhen they are really getting close to physical limits, generational improvements will also be smaller. Then it is probably easier for others to get close TSMC. Currently being (e.g.) two years behind TSMC means being also substantially behind in performance. But when improvements slow down, such a two-year lag may not be so substantial anymore in terms of performance.
