> These services cannot expect to run faster from year to year with increasing CPU clock frequencies because the end of Dennard scaling circa 2004 implies that CPU clock frequencies are no longer increasing at the rate that was prevalent during the commoditization of Unix.
Definition:
> Dennard scaling, also known as MOSFET scaling, is a scaling law which states roughly that, as transistors get smaller, their power density stays constant, so that the power use stays in proportion with area; both voltage and current scale (downward) with length.[1][2] The law, originally formulated for MOSFETs, is based on a 1974 paper co-authored by Robert H. Dennard, after whom it is named.[3]

The article then mentions Moore's Law.
