This kind of reminds me of an old paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9912202
Of course, we are no longer in the clock speed doubling era, but computer does get faster still.

It's true that the progress on clock speeds has slowed. Now we have to address the parallelism problem in order to keep moving forward. And we haven't done a very good job. Progress on that front will get us back on the acceleration curve. Saedfly, the current framing of 'who buys the most hardware', while I providing a nice marketing story, isn't netting us that much progress except what Nvidia spends internally.
