Even asic will imo only give us one step-function jump. there will be a huge
jump and then it is mostly back to moore's law-ish. maybe the gradient will be a bit steeper but i doubt it.
If blockchain is any indication, ASICs give two jumps (2 orders of magnitude) over GPUs. But yeah, then further jumps will have to be via parallelism; can we put 100s or 1000s of these ASICs in a single computer?
