Nvidia GPU Roadmap Confirms It: Moore's Law Is Dead and Buried
Ostensibly written about Nvidia’s plight of having to move to bigger and bigger silicon as Moore’s Law ("the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years”) is dead – this is, of course, much bigger than a single chip manufacturer.
Advancements in process technology have slowed to a crawl in recent years. While there are still knobs to turn, they're getting exponentially harder to budge. Faced with these limitations, Nvidia's strategy is simple: scaling up the amount of silicon in each compute node as far as they can.

In any case, Nvidia's path forward is clear: its compute platforms are only going to get bigger, denser, hotter and more power hungry from here on out. As a calorie deprived Huang put it during his press Q&A last week, the practical limit for a rack is however much power you can feed it.
