End of Moores Law: Its not just about physics t.co/YQnpM3wfKg Currently, Intel processors, such as its Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors, are made on a 22-nanometer process. Colwell said companies need to focus on the economics of getting to 7 nanometers and beyond: I think most technologists will, at least privately, rationally consider the prospects for the end of Moores Law. But they focus on the physics, which change substantially from one silicon process technology to the next. These technologists know how monumental the challenges are to even get to [7 nanometer] silicon technology, so the natural assumption is that eventually some problem with the next silicon process technology will turn out to be physically insurmountable, and thats what will end Moores Law.
