Re: So who the hell is still supporting BU?

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?

Irrelevant. Other than the fact that process technology nodes continue their unabated march, there is also a third physical dimension that semiconductor manufacturing is just starting to exploit.
