Physical limitations of Moore's Law of miniaturization would have a serious impact on technology and economy. According a new study a thermodynamical effect, the increasing thermal noise voltage (Johnson-Nyquist noise) on decreasing characteristic capacitances, together with the constrain of using lower supply voltages to keep power dissipation manageable on the contrary of increasing clock frequency, has the potential to break abruptly Moore's Law within 6-8 years.
