So, a decade from now

Ah, more like 15 years.

Then, shortly after that, the mainstream won't be client compute, but cloud compute and game streaming. Although, I wonder if 20 years to build out full fiber for almost everyone in rich countries is realistic. I might be over optimistic here, actually. Maybe 30 for mainstream game streaming.

I'm willing to bet that next gen consoles will at least match RTX 4090 PT performance. It will not take 15 years, it will take 4-5.
