Moore's law will hold true another 20 years at least. New computing architectures will be the driving force, not silicon processes.


Moore's law only describes silicon processes:

It has nothing to do with computing architectures.


If you are going to be pedantic about it, you're wrong as well: Moore's law describes neither chipmaking processes nor silicon. It describes a quantity of transistors that are in an integrated circuit. In fact, the first integrated circuit was the Darlington transistor, which would have been germanium at the time, and also had nothing to even do with computing.
