Todays transistors are still generally on a plane. If we could find ways to build IC's stacked thousands or millions of layers thick, we could really start using the third dimension.

("3d" transistors built on their side don't really count)

For CPUs/GPUs it probably wouldn't help that much, since you have to get rid of the heat produced by switching a transistor.

And for storage the main issue isn't how big it is, but how cheap it is to manufacture.
