A pity given data sets keep getting bigger.
Can't it be parallelized on server, and client will only
receive presentable data? Then your only concern will be energy
consumption.
Yes, it looks like server/HPC increasingly is becoming a separate
CPU market again.
I read somewhere that next gen high end APU from AMD might have a
TDP of 200/300W (pretty hot) and basically integrate a full-blown
GPU and use HBM memory (>128GB/s?).
Intel is going from 14nm to 10nm in 2017. IBM has succeeded with
7nm silicon-germanium and it is projected for 2018?
So yes, sure, density is reaching a limit, but that does not mean
that you won't get more effective CPUs, larger dies, stacked
layers, higher yields (cheaper chips), more cpus per server,
integrated cooling solutions, cheaper FPGAs, faster memory etc...
