    I don’t think so. The Moore’s law is dead. The priviledge of buying a new machine that’s twice as fast, half as power hungry or half the price as the old one is over.

    One of the ways to optimize is to shorten the length of the bus connecting the components, making the machine more compact, less modular and less repairable.

    I’ve enjoyed the golden times of technology as much as anyone, but realize it was an anomaly, not the normal.

    As for the AI buble, it will pop eventually, to be replaced by some new fad, but it will never be the same.

    PS: Just as I’m wring this, I’ve noticed a release fom IBM about a 0.7nm process that’s supposed to be twice as powerful and 70% more energy effective compared to 2nm, so not all is lost (yet). Can’t wait for the yield number.
