I wonder if we'll reach the physical nanostructure wall of silicon long before that, and then all progress will have to be algorithmic efficiency gains. The era of Metal Muscle will end and we will return to the era of smart people pondering in coffee shops.

We also know the human brain has far more intelligence per watt than any transistor architecture I know of. The real question is if those will be commercially worth researching.
