> Yes and the question is how many application really needs more performance than we have today? Careful with that, it's like saying "640k should be enough for everybody" or "who ever needs optical fiber ? Copper is absolutely fine". It is in fact an "unknown unknown", and we should make sure it transitions at least to the "known unknown" category. What kind of application could we do with more power, then ? I'm thinking about AI and personal assistants that Google and Facebook are trying to sell us: things that analyze the vast trove of our emails, browsing pattern, commands, habits and extract useful information for our lives. These traditionally sit in a datacenter because of the computing power needed to reliably guess what I'm looking for and giving me the right answer instantly. So, if we had more computing power available in any of our own computer, wouldn't it be better to have that assistant on our smartphone ?
