Does anyone know at what point Moore's law will come into effect and they won't be able to make the nM count smaller? So far smallest I have heard of is 2nM. Is that it for a while after they make 2nM?
I heard that it is impossible to make chips smaller than 5 nanometers for a long time. The hashrate and payback of the video card are important to us, as well as the consumption of electricity and temperatures, and technologies will constantly change for the better.
There are limitations as the electrons can not pass through a space to small without bleeding power.
Much like the amount of miles per gallon of gas for a car.
We will never see a gasoline engine do 1000 miles a gallon.
As for the smallest chip possible likely 2nm or 1nm is the end of shrinkage of chip size.

"the radius of the electron is estimated as about 2 × 10−10 cm."
so the number is the same as 2nm which makes 2nm seem impossible. I figure people are clever and may be able to stretch a round electron into a flatter oval shape.
Which would likely mean 2nm to 1nm could maybe work.
