One thing I forgot to add and it is a question really posed to those with much greater erudition than myself. IC's have both critical and non-critical layers, meaning that some layers need bleeding edge technology while others do not. Is there the possibility of a hybrid chip, one in which some layers will require advanced(next generation, whatever that is) technology, but the other half can rely on "old" technology? And what is currently the most viable post-silicon technology?

Where is K Derbyshire when we need her:-)
