MossyRocks, Moore's Law has nothing to do with cost to manufacture it has to do with the rate at which transistors are miniaturized. They are always refining the manufacture process to reduce costs. One reason CCD was left behind was due to CMOS being cheaper to manufacture on mass.
Moore's Law has more to do with Sensor's reaching 60mp which is nearly doubling the amount of pixel sites for the same area. Canon demoed a 120mp sensor within the last year. People are against higher pixel count.

These sensors are good candidates for the LXD and MXD interchangeable Viewfinder DSLR system Ricoh/Pentax should be doing. No need for a new lens mount just change between EVF for mirrorless operation and OVF viewfinders.
The most interesting thing for me is these sensors capture 16-bit RAW files. This is significant. To even entertain using such sensors Ricoh/Pentax would need to move to UHS-II. It is impossible to think it could be done without doing so. Better cpu's and bigger buffers are useless without moving to UHS-II. Ricoh has manufactured their own CPU's including the Accelerator Unit. KP and K-1II owners see the benefits of that.
Let's hope the cost to manufacture actually goes down which is entirely possible with electronics.
