Yeah, physical issues on micro devices is a hard cap. I read someone believing we’ll make things bigger, not by a lot, but to allot more space to reach greater speeds. So don’t expect the old Pentium 1/2 big chip designs but more just being 25% increase in size of the chip. This might not have an effect on circuit boards but don’t be surprised to see them getting a bit larger to compensate as well.
Needless to say, I believe we’ll reach a point of that in my lifetime.
That definitely possible. There is still a lot of ongoing research into new transistor architectures and nanolithography techniques tho, so I wouldn’t count out the possibility of moore’s law continuing for a couple more decades. It’s honestly astonishing how good at this stuff the tech industry really is, it’s beyond anything that sci-fi could imagine.
