I don't know if it will be 22, 16, 12 or even smaller, but it is quite clear that shrinking will not work forever and one day we will hit physical barriers. Moore's law could be maintained in the future not by shrinking chips, but by adding more CPUs, and here the limit is the sky (and the ...

Magnets, Germanium May Allow Chipmakers to Move Beyond 22nm
Maximum PC —
While it’s presently believed that 22nm will be the maximum achievable process shrink using silicon, recent discoveries might allow chip makers to cut the 2020 goal set by Moore’s Law loose. The discoveries come in the form of a manganese-doped germanium substrate, which will allow the creation of nanowires that can be easily magnetized. The magnetizing effect is reportedly showing “the potential of using these nanowires as building blocks for electronic devices,” such as “ferromagnetism above 300 K and a superior performance with respect to the hole mobility of around 340 ...
Moore's Law to extend beyond 2020
DV Hardware —
... NPL's solution comes atop a manganese-doped (Mn) germanium (Ge) substrate. There, Ge nanowires are created and artificially magnetized. NPL reports the magnetizing effect exhibits properties which demonstrate "the potential of using these nanowires as building blocks for electronic devices," such as "ferromagnetism above 300 K and a superior performance with respect to the hole mobility of around 340 cm2/Vs and other industrially relevant parameters."
