Could the dream of VR end with Moore's Law?
OK Moore's Law is nearing it's physical limitations. You can only make working transistors on silicon down to about 5nm, after that strange quantum effects kick in and the super thin wires heat up an...

OK have you seen any 5 ghz processors?
Can you remember the race to higher speed processors between AMD and Intel, then we hit a limit around 3.5 Ghz.
Have you noticed how newer faster processor and gpu's have had to add more cores, as they have been unable to add more speed.
You can change from silicon to graphene or carbon nanotubes but once you get to the sub 5nm components you just can't push any further as you are getting down to individual atoms and quantum effects. Have you noticed that GPU's are struggling to push below 28nm and only Intel has 16nm parts.
The thing is if we don't get the free lunch from Moore's Laws smaller, faster, cheaper chips then can we get a mobile VR device with 8k resolution that does not need to plug into a multi-gpu powered PC?
