The current US weapons stockpile was designed on computers less powerful than a modern laptop. Back then we had the advantage of having a nuclear testing program. But it is also not clear to me compute is the biggest limitation in having a nuclear design program unless for some odd reason you're aiming for both high accuracy/precision in design simulations.

The only reason I can think of that would point to precision/requirements for detailed calculations would be interception/avoiding interception. Even then.. I can’t really imagine you need that much computing power.
