The Moore's law has ended (doubling time has become longer than 2 years, and looks like 10nm-7nm will be the last manufacturing process for a long time). From now on we will see more special-purpose hardware.
special purpose hardware follows the same rules as Moore's law.
Last I checked, number of cores attached to large memory, on Intel chips, is still going up, and that's what affects throughput on embarassingly parallel jobs, which is what these are.
