We've all noticed when the exponential growth in CPU clock speeds turned into a sigmoid, it's been a while already. I'm not sure I'd as pessimistic as the article is on transistor numbers. I think those will keep doubling on CPUs. The WinTel duopoly will find a way to twist your arm to keep buying CPUs with ever more cores. It's just that most other applications will not get much use from it. Then again, video editing is becoming more and more popular, so I think a lot of 3rd party application can make good use of parallelism.
