So I was reading here that IBM 7nm will make 5GHZ and more possible. But how? The last shrinks like to 14nm didn't change much in this regard. Also what happens when 5nm is reached? Is 1nm even possible?

Probably swap to alternate gate designs ala SOI, GAA, to improve power scaling while increasing reticle size and using tactics like MCM to allow further size increases. After that they'll move to alternate substrates.

No 1nm is not possible .

We are getting closer to quatum tunneling problem. Not sure how much we can still shrink.

4-5 nm will be the limit most likely. Then transistors will have to switch to carbon nanotubes or graphene.

What a time to be alive!
