Moore's Law, which historically described both physical transistor density and economic cost, is facing challenges. While the physical scaling has been slowing for years, recent reports suggest the economic bargain is also breaking. TSMC's reported hesitation to adopt ASML's new High-NA EUV machines due to cost indicates a potential reversal in the trend of cheaper chips per operation, impacting everything from smartphones to AI infrastructure.
