>The fact is baring major breakthroughs, we are stuck with roughly today's level of performance for the foreseeable future. Maybe finally we stop wasting hardware and use the supercomputers we have in our pockets for greater things. Another thing to consider is that memory access is still the most prevalent speed problem. If we can work on these bottlenecks we can still get significant performance increases without actually increasing CPU performance that much.
