I'm pretty sure we're going to the 7nm node from where we are now.
(we're at around 22-26 nm as intel puts AMD in a choke-hold... we could
stay at that node for decades if AMD goes under though. =(
The real issue is that we are only working in two dimensions right now.
The next major improvement will come from "through silicon vias"

There are severe thermal issues though. =(
Even that would be many orders of magnitude (4 or 5) worse than a true
3D chip. =\
So yeah, there is some room for hardware improvement, especially with
paradigm changes such as memristors and graphene...
What we really need to do is get serious about the software. =|
