William M. Holt from Intel gave the ISSCC 2016 keynote talk entitled 1.1 Moore’s Law: A Path Forward. Holt's talk was very interesting and focused on the effort to minimize power dissipation at Intel and the industry. He also described technologies under dewvelopment that may appear in future nodes. Most of these new devices reduce power dissipation but do not provide speed increases, however. The energy-delay product of a device is the key metric used to compare power efficiency. The paper for the talk 1.1 Moore's law: A path going forward is also available at the IEEE.
