> reducing the complexity and commoditising the whole thing is what's really going to be impressive I think

What do you think "cutting edge" is, or Moore's law has been?

At one point you could have written a similar article about, say, 165nm, which is now going to the scrapyard. In the past these things have always gradually got more available and easier, with higher yields - but a new, better one appears.

But at some point we're going to reach an equilibrium with physics itself. Where, even with all the complexity we can muster, it's not possible to make it easier or get smaller.
