1nm transistor
Current state of the art is 45nm silicon gate.
1/45 x 1/45 of that area is at least some 2000 times smaller area than we have now. What more future transistor is not actually transistor but a quantum dot. They work with a single electron. Than what use of aplification of the signal? Reversible computing at the room temperature? Yes, why not. Alas, don't expect it soon, if ever. Though 4000 processors on a chip instead of only current two might bring a lot of processing power to all.
It is simply radically new technology. And many such were dead born. History learn us.
