But I suspect that unseen efforts of design/fab/equipment/management teams grows exponentially for hardware getting better linearly.

Improved algorithms is what is needed. Yep, exactly. 1. According to http://www.realworldtech.com/haswell-cpu/ new Intel's Haswell will have 4× boost in the peak FLOPs compared to Nehalem cores. I don't tnink that totally new Intel's architecture will arrive until 2016 and new AMD's architecture wi...
