I was at a Share conference about 10 or so years ago where an IBM senior fellow, at one of the keynote addresses, said Moore’s law was no longer valid because you can’t shrink forever. Plus, as you get smaller, heat becomes a major issue. Seems like the engineers at IBM figured it out. It gives them a huge advantage. I think this is the reference. https://www.cnet.com/news/report-ibm-researcher-says-moores-law-at-end/
