Hi there, Welcome to OA!

To answer your second question first:

As Rynn said, we don't have a chatroom, but the forum can seem like one sometimes if folks get going enough on a given topic. Also, you're welcome to ask as many questions as you like here. We may answer directly or refer you to some resource online or both. But please don't feel that you only get X number of questions and no more.

Re your main question: are you referring to ultimate limits for silicon chips such as we make now or limits to computational hardware of any kind? If the latter, Rynn's answer pretty much covers things, although there are interesting discussions and details to be had if we start getting into things like quantum computing or the like.

If you mean limits of current technology, there are a number of interesting candidate technologies that could replace silicon chips in various ways and keep Moore's Law moving along for a good bit longer.

Hope this helps and once again - Welcome to OASmile

Todd
