Graph illustrating how, despite the linear increase in transistor counts, processing speed has hit a "wall". The constant doubling of transistor density has not lead to a linear increase in processing speed/frequency.
Considering the laws of quantum mechanics limiting the "smallness" of transistors, we may see a slowdown in the increase of transistor density, and instead see a continued increase of core density.
