We're entering the Big Chip era, and I couldn't be more excited
Who can argue with a Big Chip?
In 2024, researchers wanted to figure out how to get around the limitations of the "area-wall" that chips run up against. As Moore's Law slows, chip designers need to continually increase the area of a die, which isn't practical for a number of reasons, not the least of which are reticle size and yield. These researchers published their analysis of previous technological breakthroughs in Fundamental Research, laying out a path forward as Moore's Law is buried six feet below the ground. They called it the "Big Chip."
