The CPU progress is taking smaller and smaller piece in size..

Off records of IT worlds and into religion world,...

Sandy bridge has 32nm size,
Ivy bridge will have 22 nm size,
then its successor Haswell, 22 nm size
...even the successor of Haswell has been announced; Rockwell to have 16nm size. (WTF this is already half of Sandy Bridge!)

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridge_%28microarchi... Look at the graph.

Indeed. As the CPU manufacturing process becomes more and more advanced, sizes will get smaller. I'm worried about what they'll do when they hit 5nm... Not sure if Intel or anyone else for that matter will have quantum computing figured out by then.

Figuring out quantum computing is one thing. Making it feasible for the marketplace is another matter altogether. I expect the next great computing advancement will not be the result of a smaller die for chips, but will come from new form of technology, completely different than we use today. While we have seen exponential gains in capabilities over recent years, the fundamentals of the process (back to earliest x86 days) are still very similar. Something to think about.
