What we need much more from here on are deterministic processors. There are awesome optimizers out there, including programs with genetic algorithms that find the best way to do a micro task X or Y (part of a much bigger program). IMO we have a ton of slightly-higher-hanging fruit that we can pick in terms of optimization but the relentless march of the X86 / X64 architecture obstructed that innovation. Might be time to look inwards and start working more on squeezing the CPUs we have right now for maximum performance.
