It's also important to note the power wall and how that is limiting the throughput of individual cores as well as the limits of ILP.

However, the fact that transistors are getting so small that we have to worry about the quantum tunneling properties of electrons is worrying – programmers may soon have to get even better at utilizing the scarce resources we have.
