In addition to the previous post, I've improved the table with the gflops performance of Lenovo Thinkpad models from the past. The moving average over an increase for 5 years was determined which shows that the processing speed is growing with 15% anually. This is much lower than the expected Moores law which assumes, that the performance is growing by 59% anually.
The slow growth of 15% is different from the much higher improvement during the 1980s and 1990s which was working with the expected 59% annual increase in processing speed. It seems that some sort of plateau was reached after the year 2010. From this year, the processing speed measured in gflops stays constant on a high level. Its unlikely, that the former Moores law with its exponential improvements will come back in the near future.
