The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Attojoule Optoelectronics for Low-Energy Information Processing and Communications (2016, background): “So, to minimize the “static” power dissipation in chips, the operating voltage of logic gates is decreasing only slowly if at all [6], [37], [38].”
Energy Efficiency in the Future Internet: A Survey of Existing Approaches and Trends in Energy-Aware Fixed Network Infrastructures (2011, background): “At the same time, as shown in Figure 1 and as suggested by Dennard’s scaling law [29], silicon technologies (e.”
Implications of Historical Trends in the Electrical Efficiency of Computing (2011, background): “Shrinking transistor size therefore resulted in improved speed, reduced cost, and reduced power use per transistor.(14) Power use is driven by more than just transistor size, however.”
Limits on fundamental limits to computation (2014, methodology): “But Dennard scaling broke down ten years ago [49].”
