It is more than the "multicore crisis" -- CMOS and lithographically
etched circuitry in general are starting to hit the wall. The real
challenge comes about the time we hit the 12-15nm generation in about
six to eight years, which is probably the end of the line for what
we're doing now.

I have no doubt we'll get past that, but the question is how fast and
using what technology...
