"The observations in the chip manufacturing industry and the shifting demands of the chip market are a strong indication that Moore's law is indeed coming to an end and future increases in computer power will be more punctual than systematic as it has been in the past 50 years. Even if there would be no progress in hardware performance at all—what is, of course, very unlikely—we can expect substantial further progress in numerical mathematics and new algorithms, which will render computation in the future more efficient than today. Indeed there is no need to be pessimistic." Full article @
