Topic: What happens after 16nm? - page 2. (Read 2967 times)
Not much for the public market. Development costs really start to rise and 16nm and lower. At a point you even start competing for resources that large fortune 500 companies use at the chip fabs. I think 16nm is a good place to consolidate the market and see how the BTC halving plays out.
Dude,
Just go to the EEtimes website.

Technically, it's 14nm OR 16nm depending on the fab for the current stuff.
I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure that either IBM or Intel is doing early work on an 8nm process, but that's years away from deployment.
Moore's Law started slowing a bit a long time ago, when chip design started running into quantum effects.

well they are already at the lowest point of electrcity cost, there is no more gain there, unless you're telling me that each megafarm have the possibility to go to zero cost, which is impossible for almost one exa
miners will simply begin to manipulate the value of bitcoin to have their margin, i believe big farm can already do this...

I think there is still a plenty of things to develop in 16nm section in Bitcoin mining after these next chips that are coming (Bitfury, etc.)
But yeah, generally seems that Moore's law is apparently slowing a little.

16 nm is the current state of the art technology. Next step is 10 nm, but at least Intel won't ship it before second half of 2017, so I guess we are going to live at least till that with 16nm. Moore's law is apparently slowing.
So what does this mean for bitcoin mining? Cost of electricity is even more important, since you can't offset it with faster hardware?
