32 nm is already history for Intel - well almost history

Even though the transition towards engraving in 32 nm will begin in a few months time, Intel is already thinking about the future and they already have a very precise roadmap concerning the next reductions in size for engraving.
Thus in 2011 they will pass to engraving in 22 nm, then to 16 nm in 2013 and to end at 11 nm in 2015.
Beyond that is unknown, one will doubtless then need a revolution in the manufacturing process and to abandon the lithography to continue on the way of the miniaturization.
While waiting, we can be quiet for the next few years. We will have processors having more and more cores, Moore's law will not be disturbed. Those that will have the most work will be certainly the developers who will have to learn how to manage this profusion of cores otherwise a good part of our processors will clearly be spending their time doing nothing.
