I don't know much about foundry processes, but it seems that it's taking more and more time for lesser and lesser gains, right? At this rate, how long until we reach sub nanometer? What are the physical limits on these processes, and does it have any implications for end users? Will we be using 2nm CPUs for 50 years?
Would love to hear the thinking of anyone educated on the topic.
Edit: very intrigued by the sustained downvotes on this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- 2011: 32nm
- 2012: 22nm
- 2014: 14nm
- 2018?: 10nm
