Nah, were near the scaling limit of silicon. And huge chips are super expensive and impractical.
One day we'll find an easier way to print chips. Won't end moore's law but may shift algorithm implementation back to hardware after decades of software eating everything.
Medium term, they'll get a new lease on moore's law by switching off silicon to smaller atoms. And/or switching to something that handles heat better so we can go 3D. This is already happening in power electronics with GaN. My bet is on this tech slowly spreading into digital logic
