When 2027 comes what will tech be?

[whattheshay]

So tech is advancing faster than we even know. What will happen? Leave your answers in the comments.

given an 8 year gap, presumably about as different from now as 2011 was.

[JoostinOnline]

It will be exactly 8 years more advanced.

What ever you expect, cut that expectation in half atleast.

 

if history has taught people anything (which to be fair, 'people' tend to not to learn from history, they keep making the same mistakes), its that humanity has a tendancy to being overly optimistic about the future.

 

Take a look back at old TV shows that asked the question where we should be right now.. we should have hover cars, AI robots, and all maner of sci fi like creations.... but we dont.

Much of the same. I doubt we'll see any massive revolutionary changes in such a short time.

 

CPU's will have faster cores, be on smaller nodes (7 or 5 nm), and the core count will be more dense.

 

GPU's will follow much of the same trend - though we might see more new tech like ray tracing and other features become standard.

 

I think that we might start to see a shift away from Silicon, but I have no idea how close any of the fabs are to using the new chip construction methods. They've been talking about these new techs for a decade already.

Maybe early stages of quantuam computers......more useless smart devices

We already have quantum computers.

 

If you're implying Quantum Computers for home devices? Nope. That might not ever happen. Quantum Computers are actually SLOWER than regular computers for many workloads. And creating a general purpose Quantum Computer is extremely difficult. They're much better suited to purpose built tasks.

more garbage smart bullshit spying crap, slightly faster CPUs and GPUs, hopefully fusion power

One thing I know that won't happen is AI crap like self-driving cars. We need way more than 8 years for that, and the cost of "AI" devices will be insane.

 

As for CPUs, GPUs, and such, Moore's law will end pretty soon and we'll have see what companies make their chips out of (presumably not silicon).

Article is from 2015 so there you go, should be fine

maybe they might actually be advanced and be a home device...I mean 10 years is long time for tech....imagine having quantuam gaming PC

You clearly don't understand the advantages/disadvantages of quantum computing. I recommend you do some research about this topic.

that was joke dude.....but yeah idk much about quantuam computing only the basics....yah maybe i'll look a little bit into it...you have any articles or anything that would be helpful?.ty

2027 is not 10 years from now. It's 8.

 

Also, as @Geography stated, you don't seem to understand what makes a quantum computer a quantum computer. It's not just a fancy name for "Makes things faster".

 

They have specific areas of computing that they excel at, and other areas where they are massively slower than normal processors.

 

Gaming is not an area that would benefit from quantum computing - at least, certainly not within 8 years. Maybe in 50, after they've discovered new applications?

 

But with current understanding of quantum computing, it would hinder, not help, gaming.

7nm chips are basically here now and should be deployed by 2020. Post K will be one of the biggest deployments of them initially. I doubt we will be stuck on the same node almost a decade from now.

 

GPUs will also be broken apart long before 2027 into MCM GPUs.

 

Tech to watch: STT-MRAM, digital quantum style annealing, neuromorphic non Von Neumann architectures, silicon photonics. All of thosethings currently exist and are deployed in special use cases, but they have the potential to be widespread and there will be a need for them as well. 

 

Also, the IBM Z mainframe will still be around probably with 1PB of DRAM and SCM.

We might die before 2028 consider the tension between USA, China, North Korea, and Russia. USA is done with ISIS.

That isnt profitable.

As a small prediction that can already be seen today, I think almost all heavy lifting done by computers will occur in data-centers/on a decentralized internet. This also implies a 'better' internet would exist to support an even heavier reliance on it. This idea is Software as a Service.

 

In a somewhat recent video, LTT covered shadow, which I think demonstrates the idea pretty nicely. The only application required on the client machine is a thin client that issues commands to a server/data-center which can utilize much more powerful hardware.

 

I think this sort of advancement would make computers of all kinds SUPER cheap, because they no longer need great, or even decent, hardware, which means they use way less power, so the need for a big battery also goes away in mobile devices as-well.

 

I like what @SolarNova said most though:
