Moore's law has no end in sight

The handwriting has been on the wall since the 1980s, according to former Bell Labs scientist, now co-founder and chief scientist at POET, Geoff Taylor. According to Taylor, GaAs, as opposed to silicon, will boost electrical transistor performance while integrating optical circuitry capabilities. These qualities enable both higher performance and novel IC architectures, thereby extending Moore's Law indefinitely.
