Just a thought i had recently while looking into processing power and the progress of technology, to me it feels like things have slowed, moores law says the number of transistors doubles about every two years but that doesn't necessarily mean we get anywhere near double the performance in general use, so i wondered what made it physically impossible to get the equivalent of todays cpu just ten years ago?
I know architectures etc change and improve but don't we know enough now that we could make big jumps in processing power, i mean we have the knowledge and tools, is it about money as always, do the chip makers just want a steady product line for the next 50 years?
