NVidia? AMD, maybe even Intel? We don&#8217;t know for sure but it&#8217;s thrilling to see that structure size can still be shrunken. Moore&#8217;s law however foresees that anything below 3nm is physically unreachable and needs the research of new technology to achieve smaller structure sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the upcoming years will show, the dense integration of transistors and memory makes it necessary to shrink structure sizes even more and also makes one thing even more imporant: Heat dissipation, current flow, current strength. They all build limitations against limitless die size anddesign let alone the way heat gets dissipated from large die sizes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Water cooling was a thing of the past and becomes even more important in the future again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to chip production, TSMC is a major brand. 7nm is already working fine although Intel still struggles.
