Yeah I think it will be the opposite in the medium term future.
Moore's law can't last forever, the slowdown has already occurred, and then you'll need two things for a couple generations to get better:
1) code optimization / stack reduction / api efficiency / less abstraction
2) moving software to hardware to get that sweet speedup and efficiency
