I think moores law is a given until 2020, according to a couple of articles I've read linked here. That gives us 7nm chips, I guess about 16x the density of today. So your dual core laptop will have 32 cores. I think that might be enough for most people, until we figure out some uses for that kind of power for the everyday person. Moores law is bound to be an S curve, and I think we'll start to get diminishing returns economically, as well as demand dropping off for more power sometime in the 20's.
