Dont take these gains for granted. We're nearing the physical limit for current technologies. Transistors a handful of atoms across. My guess is in 20 years we will celebrate a 5 percent gain.
I'm not sure that's true for other parts of the market. Certainly single board computers and microcontrollers have been seeing incredible gains, as have TPUs and GPUs.
It is cool we are reaching limits for our current process, but I was under the impression that in a post-Specter/Meltdown world what we're really waiting for is new architectures that support better speed under safe isolation.
