Is 10/14nm the max for silicon? Where do we go from here? The end of Moore's Law?

I think it should be celebrated, rather than put our hands up in despair.

I agree. We have more performance in a phone today than a supercomputer from the 1980's.

Every physical process will eventually reach it's limits, and I have no problem with it happening nowish.

I think the timing is pretty good on the CPU side, as they have largely ran out of ideas on what to do with extra transistors anyway.

Also for typical home buyer the slowdown is great, since you can can use a PC for a decade (my computer has a nearly 10 year old quad core), and hardly get behind on the CPU front.

Though I think on the GPU side to run higher resolution VR (if that takes off), more transistors would be useful and there might have to be a push into other areas to keep driving GPU performance going...
