The upside of the end of Moore's law is that hardware should stabilize as the focus goes from making things faster to making things easier to work with. I think there are already trends in this direction with projects like RISC-V.
- gogopuppygogo 11y agoI think the focus will go toward making hardware more power efficient instead of faster.
- bravo22 11y agoPower efficiency and size reduction go hand in hand. The gate capacitance is reduced at lower geometry, and you can also reduce the core voltage. Both of which directly contribute to power. The only other way to reduce power is by clock gating, which pretty much happens these days on any decent SoC design targeted at mobile.
