>the end of Dennard Scaling around 2006 has meant that the rate of increase in performance has slowed even as Moore’s Law has continued.
This is why parallel compute (multi core/GPUs) has taken off since 2006 - heat puts a cap on clock speed, so the only option is to do more operations per cycle. Even some microcontrollers are dual-core now.
I don't see this trend stopping. Massive parallelism is the future of computing.
