It was inevitable I suppose, forever decreasing sizes and thermal limits of silicon material.

"Moore's law says the number of transistors that can be fit on a computer chip will double every two years, resulting in periodic increases in computing power."

“So there is an ultimate limit set by the laws of thermal dynamics and set by the laws of quantum mechanics as to how much computing power you can do with silicon,” says Kaku, noting “That’s the reason why the age of silicon will eventually come to a close,” and arguing that Moore’s Law could “flatten out completely” by 2022.


If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
