Moore's law is a marketing "law". It's invented so that you want to buy a CPU today (rather than waiting for next one) and also want to upgrade every 2-3 release cycles.

Sentiment of "good enough" can break the law unless we continue finding compelling reasons to buy more horsepower. 8K VR anyone?
