• I consistently recommend Hennessy and Patterson's Turing Award Talk[1] as a good overview of the past, present and future of chip performance. [1] - This will take you directly to the meat of the discussion: [VIDEO]

• I recommend watching the Turing Award speech by Patterson and Hennessey which covers this topic. Spoiler: the way out is "Domain Specific Architectures". [VIDEO]

• When you posted about joining Oxide I couldn't quite figure out what they (now you) do by looking at the homepage. I stumbled across this other lecture ( [VIDEO] ) that is along the same line of thinking, and it started to make sense.
