I had imagined if they get smaller "drawing capability"(which it's made by infrared lasers) they could create smaller transistors and put more transistors in the same space, and so increasing performance.
Anyway if they have 1/4 of power consumption, they can create more cores without great energy consumption. The problem it's the cost to create more cores.
Pianoteq as it is today do not create better sounds with a very high end processor, but if computer power could get average increase of 200% (let's just supose...) they can redesign the engine to consider more variants. For other side sampled based pianos still relys in memory and HD capability to create heavier versions of their pianos.
Anyway, in other video they said 2nm will take many years, as 5mn it's not even often today, since there is only a very few machines in the world able to work in 2nm scale. And maybe even more time to processors with 30 cores in 2nm became affordable.
Since you sound very well informed, let me ask: How close are we from a computer power speed stagnation or some sort of reduction in the evolution which could give the impression of stagnation?
Key Fumbler wrote:It doesn't work that way sadly. You aren't going to see 200% faster processors through this. More like the 45% is actually a bullish projection in absolute best case scenario conditions. That's still excellent, if they can have a reliable yield, especially when combined with low consumption and likely greater reliability.
More likely you will see even more parallel processing cores on ever more efficient portable devices. Quadruple energy efficiency for the processors alone is pretty amazing, but that will likely be substantially reduced by display screen and Wi-Fi chip power consumption. If they halve + the amount of battery charging that would be cool.
Manafacturers are still struggling with stability of production with the tiny 7nm process. So what's possible in limited production has to scaled up for mass production. Combine that with the complexity of a modern CPU with many more gates than you have in a more simple mobile device it could take a while to improve the baseline machines for Pianoteq.
It's incredible what technological advancements the market forces of capitalism has achieved for mankind.
