At the present rate, computers suitable for humanlike robots will appear in the 2020s. Can the pace be sustained for another three decades? The graph shows no sign of abatement. If anything, it hints that further contractions in time scale are in store. But, one often encounters thoughtful articles by knowledgeable people in the semiconductor industry giving detailed reasons why the decades of phenomenal growth must soon come to an end.
I don't know where to look to confirm that can current computers do 1 billion MIPS (Million Instructions per Second?) as predicted by this article?
EDIT: This Wikipedia article puts an AMD CPU at ~2 million MIPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second as the highest one.
