Guess Moore's Law comes into some were?

Gordon Moore made his famous observation in 1965, just four years after the
first planar integrated circuit was discovered. The press called it "Moore's
Law" and the name has stuck. In his original paper, Moore observed an
exponential growth in the number of transistors per integrated circuit and
predicted that this trend would continue. Through Intel's relentless
technology advances, Moore's Law, the doubling of transistors every couple
of years, has been maintained, and still holds true today. Intel expects
that it will continue at least through the end of this decade. The mission
of Intel's technology development team is to continue to break down barriers
to Moore's Law.

The more advanced the technology the heavier and more dense the hammer
required. An upper limit, set by the laws of Physics, is expected to be
reached when Neutronium*  no longer fills the bill.

Neutronium hammers are not yet available, and are unlikely to be for a few
decades yet, until the early adopters start to perceive the need for them -
so don't ask.
