Airliners are up against physical limitations that don't incentivize upgrading. If there was an airliner that could fit millions of people and cost less than the 1980s version, I don't think you'd see many 80s aircraft around anymore, except in niece applications such as this computer. Perhaps now that we're at the end of Moore's law, you might see a larger amount of long-lived computers. But on the other hand, we'll probably find new ways to innovate in computing power. | ||

Computers are still evolving rapidly. Instead of raw GHz increases, it will be things like tensor cores or other extremely-wide/GPU-type processing units. And of course, more RAM and more caches to feed them. | ||
