As we’ve talked about before, Moore’s law has continued to apply only through the utmost efforts and desperate “cheats” by the engineers who design the chips and the process to create them. But we’re running into some fundamental barriers, many of which have been circumvented before only to have them crop up again, more formidable this time.
