Since the 1970s, the number of transistors dense in integrated circuits doubling every 2 years. In the last 5 years, intel has been in the 14nm process for a long time. People are starting to suspect that Moore's Law is coming to an end. However, TSMC is keeping its velocity of upgrading its process. Last year it started to mass production of 5nm integrated circuit and win the competition of transistor density. Since ASML has developed EUV lithography, that will provide a breakthrough process upgrading. They claim Moore's Law will at least last for 10 more years.
