Used Book in Good Condition
Look, whether we're off Moore or not has nothing to do with automation. If performance is the issue then you need to look at all of the variables I previously listed, plus some (e.g. number of cores). What matters at the end of the day is performance per dollar.
That should be 5 times 10 to the 9 hertz not 5*109 hertz (also 5 times 10 to the 24). I think that's just a bug in the Reddit quoting feature if that's what you're talking about. What I'm saying is that there are physical processes that happen at much greater speed than the ones we currently use to implement transistors. There is nothing that says logic must inherently be implemented as the flow of electrons through a circuit. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OOmSyaoAt0) does a good job of explaining the "worst case memory bandwidth" you are talking about, however, the Professor talking is calculating the speed for the visible light spectrum. I'm saying we aren't limited to that. That is not the end of the spectrum. I do, in fact, know what I'm talking about.
If you are talking about this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Systems#Controversy), then whether the D-Wave computer is a quantum computer or not may depend on papers that were published last month. Have you read them? Ultimately, the limit to computing is much higher than you think it is. This paper provides more details. http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9908043v3.pdf
"Is that supposed to mean DNA or evolutionary?" If you mean evolutionary algorithms, no that's not what I'm talking about. Though, I happen to know quite a bit about both. I'm talking about physical DNA (as in the stuff in biological cells). I'm sorry, you must not be up to date on the latest DNA computing technologies. There is currently research into creating logic gates with DNA. The signal is propagated by protein concentration. Other technologies include wrapping light responsive molecules with DNA using DNA origami. I suggest you read this book (http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-DNA-Self-Assembled-Computer-Design/dp/159693168X) for more information. DNA happens to be easily assembled by existing proteins, so the self assembly part is not as challenging as you might think
Based on your confusion over DNA vs evolutionary computing, I don't think you do know more about the other computing paradigms than I do. You need to provide some sound evidence for your claim that "DNA doesn't work" (correct me if I'm wrong, but that is way too fuzzy to be a scientific claim). How do you know that it will take 20 years until non-photolitho processors will exist? Do you have a post graduate degree in Physics, Computer Science or Computer Engineering? I'm afraid I can't just take you at your word. If you have data that computing will stagnate for decades, then please present it.
