Have you ever heard of Moore’s law? It’s where computing power doubles every two years. Well, it may be able to keep up, and here’s how:

One possible way is diamonds. Diamonds are really good at dispersing heat and the colder chips are, the faster and more efficient they perform. A few companies have been testing out this including Diamond Foundry, Intel, and others.

Another possible way is to make chips much cooler. If they get cool enough. And when I say cold, I mean really cold as in just above absolute zero. This makes the computer quantum and turns all the regular bits into cubits.

Next is something that we have already been doing: making the chips smaller. So far we have made them really small but they could go smaller.

Last but not least is an idea that could revolutionize computing: graphene. It is 200 times stronger than steel so you wouldn’t have to worry about breaking the computer chips and can conduct electricity (to my knowledge) the fastest in the world so far. That would make computers much faster and it would be much colder because the main problem with silicon chips is that they overheat.

In conclusion, many ways could revolutionize computers, and Moore’s law will hopefully continue with the right innovators and solutions.
