Moore’s Law to End in 10 to 15 Years?

Wired has posted a story in which Gordon Moore predicts his own law (the one that states computer processing power will double every two years) will be physically impossible in ten to fifteen years. He states this as once a processor gets to be less than 1nm you cannot make a processor of 0nm. Eventually it just physically doesn’t exist. This law, of course, is based on transistors which can be fit on a processor. There is nothing saying that at some point a whole new method of processing won’t be invented, which would create a new version of Moore’s Law.

Just hope you dont take too long to hit the button or he jumps off his perch and goes to work on you with that lightsaber!
