Reply to The End of Moore’s Law: Silicon computer chips are nearing the limit of their processing capacity. But is this necessarily an issue? Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies by CPHfuturesstudies
Moore’s law has been killed by bad headlines every week for the last decade.
Computing power isn’t entirely about how many registers you can put into a chip. Anything from memory bandwidth to multi-threading has a substantial effect on performance.
Focusing on just the size of the register is like saying “I doubled the displacement of my engine” You’ll see performance increase but that’s not the end all way to improving power.

If anything “decent” is what’s listen on zillow even a big shot tech guy is going to think long and hard about those prices. Unless you’re paying a grandfathered rent you’d need to be in the top of your field before mudtown prices will seem “reasonable”.
