Elledan writes "According to this EE Times article, CMOS technology (also used to create CPUs with) is getting near the moment when we will no longer be able to create smaller structures with it. With the date for this moment set around 2012 and with no replacement technology in sight, this issue might become a real problem in the near future, as the article explains."

  1. Tech roadblock? GOOD. by AndyChrist · · Score: 1, Redundant

    So hardware will slow it's advance...good. Maybe more attention will be paid to software efficiency. A couple of years of progress on the software-speed side will be ORGASMICALLY great when a new hardware technology comes into play.
