[Nottingham] Is 7nm the end of the long running Moore's Law?

[Martin]

Folks,

In the news just now:

This looks to be a significant shift in the long running developments of
silicon chip production:


... [AMD] Moves 7nm Chip Production To TSMC (Update)

Is this where we now move to other materials and more parallel ways?

Or is it Quantum all the way?!


Cheers,
Martin


Moore's Law:

Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense
integrated circuit doubles about every two years...
