Consider you can easily emulate Vim inside Emacs but NOT the inverse and you'll understand what those extra cycles do.
For sure Emacs is a great operating system. If only it came with a decent text editor!
OMG moment, moment. Let me get my popcorn and I'm with you guys right away.

Exactly, 1000x faster CPUs would result in new software filling in the extra speed in no time at all

#77Real-time ray tracing was the goal in the old days. Are we there yet at adequate quality?
Unlikely to be done on CPU

#79Less time spent in software development on optimization. That might sound horrible at first, but also means that less resources need to be used for programming something

With 1000X CPU computing, each computer will have equivalent computing power as human brain.
So brain compute interface or jarvis like AI may get possible
