How fast will Computers be in 2050 or 2099?

Captain Matticus, LandPiratesInc say: That depends on whether or not someone comes up with a newer, smaller transistor and architecture (unless someone finally makes Quantum Computers an everyday reality). Right now, the limit on transistor size is about 5 nm. Smaller transistors have been made, but they're not as good and there are quantum effects to consider

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_nanomete...

Right now, we're just starting to see mass-produced 7 nm chips (we've been on 14 nm chips for a long time). You can effectively cram nearly 4 times as many chips into a 2D space.

Then there's research into using photons rather than electrons to carry a signal. Photons move much faster than electrons do (about 20x as fast), so that's another route that we can take.

I think a factor of 1,000,000 times growth is a bit optimistic, given the physical limitations we're currently up against, but who knows what the future holds? If Quantum Computing becomes a reality, we'll be saying good-bye to the binary age, which will allow for more information to be stored in a smaller space, and we'll be dealing with processing at the quantum level, which means that the processing speed will be fantastic and the energy usage will be negligible to what we have today. With Quantum Computing, a processing speed that's 1,000,000x better than what we have today isn't out of the question at all.

1- MILLION TIMES FASTER.
