of course this only applys while moores law holds and in the near 
future, the limit of uv to etch the chips will probably have a big 
influence and then a bit after that then quantum processing will 
probably become easier to impliment, a quatum fpga would be amasing 
though (do a full fft of the entire adc bandwidth in 1 clock cycle etc)
