Q) Why Algorithmic leaps can be better than Hardware leaps?
Ans) Hardware constraints create bottlenecks that are hard to tackle as uncertainty of physics at small scale (nano-meters and less) come into play (electrons start jumping around).
At this point, ideas (algorithms) can be used to unleash full potential of the feasible hardware.
