I don't know if we'll halt, but we may have a point where things stagnate for a bit. We've been increasing at breakneck speeds for a very long time.

I don't see that as a bad thing. There's plenty of optimization opportunities on the software level. Think of the difference between first-generation and last-generation console games.



Lots of opportunities throughout the rest of the stack too - from novel architectures to on-chip programmable logic, the end of Moore's law puts more pressure on some really interesting innovation.

eg Rainbow[0], BORPH[1], Mill architecture[2]
