Won't happen, we're already seeing a significant slowdown in Moore's "observation" ...
| sc94597 said: The original iphone had 128 MB of ram, a 412 Mhz generic Samsung ARM CPU, and graphics capabilities much less than what the PSP can offer at the time. Today the best Iphone is better than the MacBook released in the same year in terms of CPU performance, has 2 GB of ram, and moderately surpasses the Vita in graphics capabilities/theoretically matches the PS360. So the jump in less than ten years was from worse than PSP to almost as good as PS360. And the 6s isn't even the best that is out there as far as phone hardware goes. Ten years is a very long time for technology to advance. And if it is true that power output is what truly limits the mobile devices, then it makes it even less of an issue because within ten years we should have a power-supply breakthrough as battery/capacitor technology has very much lagged behind the last few decades, and there is a lot of research going into the the solid-state physics involved to improve these technologies, as well as the engineering to implement them in cost-effective means. |
Gotta love using GeekBench and I also like how it's being compared to the weaker Broadwell samples ...

The next ten years will be a time of stagnation, I guarantee it since Intel themselves can't even keep up with Moore's Law ...

What makes you think we'll see an immediate battery technology breakthough in the next ten years when lithium ion has being a commercial standard for over 25 years ?!
How are we going to do better than lithium if it's the lightest metallic element there is to offer ?
