Growth Moves From Density to Architecture
Apple, Google, Facebook, IBM, AMD, Nvidia, HP, Qualcomm, Intel, TSMC, Microsoft, and the rest of the industry built products around generations of faster, denser silicon.
When one device no longer delivers the next easy multiplier, architecture becomes the growth engine. Locality, communication, reconfiguration, specialization, and software structure determine what the next generation can accomplish.
The Parallel Era Creates a New Industry
FPGAs, chiplets, accelerators, distributed runtimes, and new programming models can turn abundant components into coherent machines. The opportunity reaches from data centers to embedded systems and programmable matter.
Founders, chip designers, and software architects can build for this transition now. The grand finale of one scaling law opens the first act of a much larger architectural era.
