Moore's law -circuits on chips would double every year is coming under danger from 'thermal noise'
Physicsweb - news articleAs the transistor size shrinks it allows more transistors to be fitted on a chip, increasing f.e. speed. This happens on the nano-m scale. But when the circuit size is shrink to a too small size the circuits suffer from thermal noise, or else said heat interference. The thermal noise interferes with the functioning and induces false bits in the proccesor, creating errors. It would only come into play under 40nm, which according to the site will be reached in 6 years time.
