That's an interesting presentation in that it outlines a lot of the directions--including rather novel ones--that processor technology could potentially be taken. He also emphasized more system-level thinking.

At the same time, he also emphasizes just what an amazing technology CMOS has been and how that's made it such an important part of the computer revolution of the last 30 years. So, no, it's not like progress will stop but without the tailwind that CMOS scaling supplied, I expect the rate of advance in a lot of areas will slow down. (As, indeed, we're seeing on desktops and laptops today even if there are also other dynamics in play.)
