The Future of Microprocessors • Sophie Wilson • GOTO 2024

Sophie Wilson discusses the history and future of microprocessors, exploring physical limits, economic challenges, and architectural evolution.

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2024. #GOTOcon #GOTOcph gotocph.com Sophie Wilson - Computer Scientist & Co-Creator of the ARM Processor ABSTRACT The Future of Microprocessors - a talk about the history of microprocessors, how we got here and what might happen next. There will be two laws, one equation, some graphs and a particle beam weapon out of Star Trek.
