Is Moore's law going to die soon? Seeing that transistors are hitting the quantum limit I believe so. I am considering dumping money on a threadripper when it comes out but I am worried it will be outdated/worth nothing in a few years.

Zen 2 will be a worthwhile upgrade. Won't be until late 2018 though.

It already died awhile ago

define outdated/worth nothing
top of the line cpu's from 5 years ago are still mid - high end now

Looses 50% or more of its value if it were just to sit on the shelf for 5-10 years

Skylake-X is a hot mess but a modders dream. I think this as good as it gets for home computing, unless you do serious server action . But in that case, you Pro

Moore's law is fine and alive. What's dying is the ancient dumpster fire that's x86.

I think its an older image, but still, its obvious the L3 is going to be 32/64

Moore's law will never die. The ability for a writer to craft Moore's law into whatever point they are trying to make will live on infinitely. Check out Dennard scaling, btw.

All computers are worth nothing after that, we're not even close to what's possible performance wise

The original premise of Moore's observation has been invalided for almost a decade now

Semiconductor has been battling the laws of physics and realities of economics since then. The problems are just getting worse.

The golden age of digital computer is long over.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
