Systems will not get faster since Moore's (not murphys) law is reaching its end. Though Atom could certainly get faster in a variety of ways. I think my biggest problem with atom currently is that its only useful on a personal computer in long sessions. I would never (could never) install it on a server and certainly cant use it to create a little script or project.
- LaMarseillaise 10y agoDid you mean Moore's Law?
- fizzbatter 10y agoIs it reaching it's end though? I could foresee us simply scaling horizontally rather than vertically. Even if it ends up drawing more power, more total CPU could still mean an increase in raw performance, no? (assuming systems were setup with better parallel processing. I'm aware that NodeJS is pretty terrible on this front)
- jamiewilson 10y agoThe end of Moore's Law does not mean that processing power will stop improving. It just means that there will likely be a slower rate at which the number of transistors gets doubled. Say, 3 years instead of 2. I think there is a physical boundary to that, but Moore's Law doesn't really address that.
