On Intel’s 65 nanometre process, gate dielectric walls are 1.2 nanometres thick – that’s equivalent to five atomic layers across, if we put things into perspective. This essentially means that Intel’s processor engineers are designing chips on an almost atomic structure level, and shrinking current silicon dioxide gate dielectric walls even further would exaggerate this even further.

Yeah, I read that Intel had some people working on a cpu with 8000 cores right now. From an article in a Swedish Computer Magazine. One of the guys are from India and working on a doctor's degree at The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, at the moment.
