AI performance now comes from the workarounds: bigger dies to the reticle limit, chiplets and advanced packaging, lower precision, and rack-scale integration. That is why packaging (CoWoS) and power delivery, not just lithography, headline this database.","attrs":null,"kf":null,"aliases":["Moore's law","Dennard scaling"],"ticker":null,"exchange":null,"hq":null,"founded":null,"website":null,"status":null,"region":null,"asof":"2026-01-15","sources":[{"url":"https://irds.ieee.org/","label":"IEEE IRDS roadmap"}]},"meta":{"found":true,"count":1,"served_from":"site cache (no live upstream calls)","as_of":"2026-10-14T04:37:42+00:00","disclaimer":"Research and information only — not investment advice.
