>The question I ask myself is if Moore's law can no longer lead to faster computing, then what good is it? Smaller and hence lower power chips. You wouldn't get multi-GHz phone CPUs if it wasn't for Moore's law allowing massive reductions in power per cycle. Even on the desktop this is good, my current graphics card is about twice as powerful as the one I bought in 2010 and uses only 1/3rd the power, which means the system fans don't have to run as loud to keep temperatures down. I don't think mobile devices need much more processing power, but every reduction in power use is good.
