In summary, the Fifth-Generation project was revolutionary, and accomplished some basic research that anticipated future research directions. Many papers and patents were published. MITI established a committee which assessed the performance of the FGCS Project as having made major contributions in computing, in particular eliminating bottlenecks in parallel processing software and the realization of intelligent
interactive processing based on large knowledge bases. However, the committee was strongly biased to justify the project, so this overstates the actual results.<ref name=Odagiri>{{Cite journal|last1=Odagiri|first1=Hiroyuki|last2=Nakamura|first2=Yoshiaki|last3=Shibuya|first3=Minorul|date=1997|title=Research consortia as a vehicle for basic research: The case of a fifth generation computer project in Japan|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0048733397000085|journal=Research Policy|language=en|volume=26|issue=2|pages=191–207|doi=10.1016/S0048-7333(97)00008-5|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
Many of the themes seen in the Fifth-Generation project are now being re-interpreted in current technologies, as the hardware limitations foreseen in the 1980s were finally reached in the 2000s. When [[clock speed]]s of CPUs began to move into the 3–5 GHz range, [[CPU power dissipation]] and other problems became more important. The ability of [[Private industry |industry]] to produce ever-faster single CPU systems (linked to [[Moore's Law]] about the periodic doubling of transistor counts) began to be threatened.
