Bilberry - Here's an article I found in US News & World Report. Note how much money is being spent on research to make tinier chips, and also note the paragraph near the bottom about the .03 micron chip.

usnews.com

In December, Intel announced a breakthrough that will allow it to make a
transistor 0.03 micron thick, well below the current 0.18 standard.
(Imagine a sprinter shattering the record for the 100-meter dash by so
great a margin.) That will allow Intel to build microprocessors that can
complete 400 million calculations in the blink of an eye. The transistors
won't be mass-produced for at least five years, when groundbreaking
extreme-ultraviolet-light technology for chip making becomes mainstream.
