Will we find another way to pack much greater computing power into a small space? A type of DNA might be an answer but DNA is a million time slower. Would we be willing to wait an hour for some calculation?
Moore's Law already is coming to an end. This was predicted even over 30 years ago because the more dense you make your chips, the more the magnetic fields generated by currents inside the chips will adversely affect the other currents within the chip. Stacking chips vertically will help at some point if they aren't doing that already. But the investment is now in quantum computing which is different altogether.

There’s always with stuff like that, may have to come up with another way altogether to put so much into a small space but even nature did with DNA, look how much information that holds

Moore's Law hasn't been true for at least 20 years. But then there's been very little need for more speed for 20 years.
They have been talking about approaching theoretical limits on density for over 30 years. Only part of speed increases are due to density. Most of it is simply due to putting more stuff in the processor. There is plenty of room to make the chips bigger, or to stack layers.Personally I have always thought they would end up going back to analog - or at least a hybrid that has multiple states instead of just two.
At first glance yes but if instead of the number of transistors doubling, you put it as the computing power doubling every two years then it ain't necessary so.
In any case Moore did not put it as transistor density so if the chips got bigger in area the nbr of transistors would increase with no density change.
I'm sure there will be a lot of effort put into to new materials but it isn't cheap. A lot of companies failed to make the lithography grade and there is only company now making the equipment.
One of the things that hasn't worked well in my book is multiple cores because home software isn't good at using them. It does work well for commercial.I guess chips will go 3-dimensional. Stacked slices rather than single flat ones.
Not sure what will happen with quantum computers. A whole new ball game.
Yes, Moores Law has been reaching its expiration date for some time. Another form of microcircuity will. have to be developed. Maybe using different materials. Radioactive decay, biologics or photo voltaic capture may someday take the place of logic gates.
Moore's law is irrelevant, not only because quantum and optical computing are becoming more prevalent, but cloud computing and distributed computing mean less need for bigger and heavier chips anyway.
Moore's Law has already ended. Quantum Computing is the future.
Nope, we'll find other ways to improve chips, mainly with AI
Quantum Computing baby! It already broke moore's law in terms of computing power.
i dont know, mabey if intel actually tried harder they could acheive that goal.
Quantum computing and advancement in material science will improve super conductors
