So Moores law continues to hold, but surely this is near the limit for 'conventional' chip technology?

LOL 7nm test chips using new technologies beat announcement of actual 10nm test chips.
That first picture make me chuckle, it looks pretty sizeable

This coupled with AMD's annoucement yesterday that they're dumping 20nm to skip to a FinFET process is pretty interesting.
Is it possible perhaps that AMD are going to jump past Intel on the process front? Something they've been behind in since the early days of the Core-Number-Numeral series?
Not to this.
It does however now seem that everyone that isn't Intel is working together, so the gap seems to be narrowing again.
There have been comments that 10nm may be another golden process like 28nm was that people stay on for ages. This might push that forward a bit.
Yeah, they've pushed it forward a lot though, but 7nm is getting towards the limit. 5nm will probably happen around 2020-2022, but beyond that, who knows.
