For a given clock speed, which is limited by the physical dimensions of

However fabrication limits are getting stuck at 10nm and below ...
Why? Because each transistor is being made out of fewer and fewer atoms,
and they are simply not working so well as transistors any more, because
of quantum leakage effects.
