- ksec 7y agoYou might want to rephrase your question. As it is not clear what you are asking.
- Kaiyou 7y agoWhy couldn't we have computers as fast as today a decade ago. What's different now and why couldn't we have gotten there faster.
- ksec 7y agoThere has never been any other product in modern history, or possibly in the entire human history that has advanced as fast as transistor fabrication. Moore's law has been doubling transistor every 2 years for the past 50 years from 1965 to 2015. It wasn't until then we hit a hiccup.
- Kaiyou 7y agoSure, but I've always been wondering what's the reason it cannot be even faster.
- ncmncm 7y agoNot sleeping leads to death in remarkably short order. (Nobody knows why, but the fact is well established.) Dying cannot be expected to yield faster computers.
- Kaiyou 7y agoIn China they build entire skyscrapers within days, by working on it 24/7. Apparently it's possible to switch out workers. We don't build buildings that fast over here, because reasons. I'm wondering if our computers ain't five times faster, because of reasons, too.
