I With chips having 2 nm transistors, are we at the end of Moore's Law?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the implications of 2 nm transistors in computer chips and whether this marks the end of Moore's Law. Concerns are raised about quantum effects becoming significant as transistors approach distances of 20 atoms. Participants are directed to continue the broader conversation about Moore's Law in a separate thread. The advancement in micro-ization is acknowledged, but the potential limitations posed by quantum mechanics are highlighted. This suggests that the future of chip development may face significant challenges.

AIUI, this is the current level of micro-ization of computer chips. I had always thought that eventually quantum effects start to become an issue when the transistors get to within 20 atoms in distance, which it would seem that 2 nm is.

Yep, please keep the discussion of Moore's Law in that thread. Thanks.
