1998: First computers with 2 and then 3 bits of memory.

2000: Computers with 5 and 7 bits of memory.

2006: 12 bits of memory

2011: 14 bits

2017: 17 bits

There is too little data to suggest anything else than a linear fit. But then again, the early stages of exponential, or logarithmic, growth can look linear. We should wait 10-20 years to get more data.
