All that comes with linear increases of heat, and exponential difficulty of heat dissipation (square-cube law).
There is still progress being made in hardware, but for most critical components it's looking far more logarithmic now as we're approaching the physical material limits.
Revolutionary developments are: multi-layer wafer bonding, chiplets (collections of interconnected wafers) and backside power delivery. We don't need the transistors to keep getting physically smaller, we need more of them, and at increased efficiency, and that's exactly what's happening.
