Intel working hard on 22nm CPUs

Correct me if any of this is wrong but...

22NM = potential for more cores in the same area.

Larry-the-bee maybe? Not heard anything new on this front in a while.
 
ok i get the very basics of quantum tunneling and a few other quantum effects but why would they run into it if the manufacturing size got to small?
 
Looks like IBM and AMD may beat Intel to the 22nm punch:

IBM and partners including AMD first to 22nm

IBM and its chip development partners made a stunning announcement today, apparently beating Intel in the successful production of the first functional 22 nm SRAM cell. It appears that, for the first time in several decades, Intel may have to put some extra time into its research and development efforts to make sure it can keep its manufacturing lead at 22 nm and beyond.

Its looking like Moore's Law is lasting much longer than predicted (not predicted by him; his rivals) - the other day I saw a report on a (slightly ambiguous and not incredibly accurate) transistor that was only 10 atoms in volume...

I can't see them continuing to much smaller sizes (than 22nm) unless they start using Bronsted-Fullerenes and their derivatives. But then technically that wouldn't be smaller nodes, just much mroe efficient ones.
