Its not even entierly a tooling issue, the gates are now just getting so small that interferance from quantumn effects is becomming a genuine problem.
Yup, that's basically what I mean. Free transistor density increases via node shrink to improve processor performance are long gone, and the cost to get usable yield out of the smaller nodes is now increasing exponentially due to the limits of physics
