Moore's law (the doubling of processors on a chip) has not slowed, but the rate of improvement in clock speeds have slowed dramatically since 2004: https://picasaweb.google.com/110921261135277605330/Economy#5621088196511836786 while the power of our super computers has continued to improve exponentially (through parallelization): https://picasaweb.google.com/110921261135277605330/Economy#5620432299391054642 and the cost/cps has continued to fall, both through falling prices for chips, and to a lesser degree through parallelization https://picasaweb.google.com/110921261135277605330/Economy#5615526200985811314

If you think "faster" then you have never worked with robotics. I have spent some time working on AI systems for robotic exploration, and as the technology stands, we will never really learn anything until we get a person on the ground.

Perhaps someday robotics will catch up, but not today or in the foreseeable future.
