On a GPU more transistors = more compute units = more performance. Hence my over-simplification of Moore's Law. I strongly disagree that the rate of CPU perf improvement has slowed down "15 years ago". What a laughable statement. You have to look beyond core count to gauge performance. Microarchitectural improvements, new instruction sets (SSE, AVX), bigger caches, etc certainly still help keep the pace. Have a look: https://www.hpcwire.com/2015/11/20/top500/ https://www.hpcwire.com/2015/11/20/top500/ In particular: https://6lli539m39y3hpkelqsm3c2fg-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TOP500-SC15-Tech-Trends-Scalar-Processors-Moores-Law-is-fine.png https://6lli539m39y3hpkelqsm3c2fg-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp... Also perhaps you get confused by the fact the average wattage of CPUs sold to consumers is dropping. If, from the performance of a 60-70 watt Netburst Pentium 4 from 2001, you project the expected performance of a 2017 CPU according to Moore's Law, then you should look at today's 60-70 watt CPUs, not at modest 10-20 watt CPUs that seem to be quite popular these days.
