jbreher, are you suggesting that it's possible to break the laws of physics in order to continue with Moore's law? We're going to build transistors out of something that's smaller than 1 silicon atom, yeah? you're pretty cute yourself, lol
Why, no, Carlton. I am suggesting that your assertion is that we are at the end of Moore's 'law' scaling due to fundamental technological limits in microchip manufacturing is absolute twaddle.
You know there is such a thing as "diminishing marginal returns" right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returnsIt's a fundamental principle of economics. Not sure how you get through life without understanding it. Free Shit Army member perhaps?
There is also such a thing as Plank length, which puts an absolute limit on how finely the traces of microprocessors may be etched.
Until we can create holographic sub-space zero-point Area51 Bose-Einstein condensate CPUs that run at absolute zero, Moore's
law observation will continue to decline in descriptive and predictive power.
I'd give you a link, but don't want to overwhelm your limited capacities with too much new information all at once.
