24. SIA road map (revision 2000). In 2001 CMOS technology for high performance applications will have the following characteristics: on chip local clock frequencies will attain 1.77 GHz, there will be 122 million transistors on a chip, and a chip will dissipate 130 W of power. These characteristics combine to give an average device power of 1.07 μW/transistor and a device switching energy of 0.6 fJ. The predictions for high-performance CMOS applications in the year 2014 include on chip local clock frequencies of 13.5 GHz, 11052 million transistors on a chip, and a chip will dissipate 186 W of power. These characteristics combine to give an average device power of 16.8 nW/transistor and a device switching energy of 1.25 aJ.
