Just to make the matter more concrete, here's an interesting technology which looks like has been stalled[1](not sure if by SAWS or not), which is basically an arithmetic-logic unit that is less precise than current systems, but still useful, for example for vision in UAV's[2], and offers an amazing improvement in of 6400x in speed/power, which could be really disruptive in some computing areas, maybe even AI. And after the author has done work on the UAV mentioned in [2], there's nothing heard about this tech for civilian uses. So it's interesting to think what other technologies are hiding out there.
