If I'm understanding correctly, the OP is claiming that our current efficiency of computation is relatively close (within 1-2 orders of magnitude) to a theoretical lower bound of how much energy is required to flip a bit (physics and information theory). i.e. making things infinitely smaller (even if we thought it possible) might not actually result in improved power efficiency per operation anymore, sometime soon. Since ASML's technology (to the layman) seems to be mostly wrapped up in making things smaller, accurately, then I can't see how this would be ASML's problem to solve, if we believe that the Landauer limit can't be broken. The onus would be on the architectural side, of finding more efficient ways of getting the higher-level results we care about, reducing the number of minimum-energy operations required to get to those results. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something?
