Somewhere between 130-nm and 90-nm the whole system fell apart. Things stopped working and nobody seemed to notice.The problems were already apparent with the 130nm node, and there were hints even at 180nm, but now the awful truth can be told: After 39 years, the free ride is finally over.Scaling is already dead but nobody noticed it had stopped breathing and its lips had turned blue.
Now chip designers will have to work for a living.

Wouldn't the speed of light act as a roadblock to processor speed? (That and material limits on the actual parts.)

Twenty years ago they were expecting to hit a wall at something like ten microns.
