Re: "progressing along a trend line to 1 trillion transistors per device by 2030"

I had a really good chat with one of Intel's designers a few years back, and I raised a similar point.

He said that there's a degree of redundancy built into the architecture so a single transistor blowing won't affect things too much, and also that they've been correcting for effects like quantum interference for a while.
