At the recent ISSCC Intel presented the following slide. Quoting from Extremetech coverage: "At 10nm and below, the path forward will become increasingly murky. What Intel has proposed is essentially a shift towards other types of cost-saving technologies and process adoptions rather than relying on strict lithography improvement. Intel may be keeping its next-generation materials and lithography plans quiet, but the company does intend to push the envelope in other ways. 2.5D and 3D integration will be critical to the development of next-generation SoCs."
