But this is irrelevant. Again. Despite being irrelevant to Bitcoin, it neither brings an end to semiconductor scaling. As you keep missing, we are just starting to exploit the third dimension in semiconductor fabrication.
hmmmmm, jbreher thinks silicon chips can be fabricated at 5nm and less, knows that 14nm took 24+ months, yet also knows that 3D TSV chips is suddenly being looked at as the actual vector with which to continue Moore's law. Why aren't the engineers considering going into femtometer processes? (like you seem to think is possible lol)
You're right this is irrelevant, but it was your point to begin with, jbreher. So now we know your original post was irrelevant, spare yourself the embarrassment
