@zoe@Instrument_Data This dependence on progress in semiconductor processes makes me wonder...
Up until now, this industry has always managed to surpass itself, but one suspects that we'll eventually reach a physical wall.
This RTX 4090 uses one of the world's 3 thinnest processes currently in production: TSMC's 4N. This makes transistor gates as long as 35 silicon atoms.
How much lower can we hope to go? 20 atoms? 10 ? 5 ?
