No I can't. That would be simply ridiculous. The thirst for power is not infinite. At some point, most people will have enough power to do everything they need (Unless they're using say windows, which will always require 10 times more computing power than the previous version).
And 640 kilobytes of RAM should be enough for anybody.
There will always be an increase in power demand. To think otherwise is short-sighted. If you could keep what we have now or have a sentient computer sitting on your desk, which would you choose?
Personally? I'd keep what I have. There is nothing better or more rewarding than squeezing more performance out of fixed limited hardware. Where is the fun if you can just buy twice as many servers? The day hardware is free, is a very very sad day for programmers.
Of course there will be massive demands in the world of servers, research, gaming etc, but that's not everything.
"The day hardware is free, is a very very sad day for programmers."
It may be a sad day for those of you who program primarily for the challenge, but for those of us who want to get stuff done, it'll be a joyous day. :)
Do you really think performance doesn't need to be increased from the current status quo? The number of cores will only go up from here.
