The end of Dennard scaling is the root-cause. This is causing power density to stop scaling with smaller transistors and will ultimately be the end of Moore's law.

- tedsanders 12y agoHmm, I don't think so. I'd say the end of Dennard scaling is why frequencies stopped going up around 2003. What's killing Moore's law now is not Dennard's law ending, but the increasing price of lithography technologies. Right now we face the unpalatable choice between quadruple patterning (very expensive) and EUV (also very expensive). The industry is between a rock and hard place.
