For at least three decades, the increase in processor speeds was exponential. Computers became twice as fast every couple of years. These increases were one consequence of Moore's Law. Since 2001, processor speed has not followed Moore's Law; in fact processors have hardly grown faster at all. But that doesn't mean computers won't continue to get faster. New chip designs include multiple processors on the same chip so the work can be split up and performed in parallel.
