  1. Since the 80's the software industry gained a huge amount of flexibility by sacrificing a bit of overall performance. This will need a large slowdown in lithography and microarch improvements to make them get backward on coding style. Also when introducing a new feature inside hardware, it takes time to devs to implement it inside stable releases. And even if it's ready in software development, commercial software might need to wait for those hardware optimizations to acquire a major market share to be pushed without making the software incompatible with old systems.

  2.  @noticing33  Yeah gaming is a perfect example as GPUs are very complex beasts nowadays, even considered computers by themselves and heavily relying on drivers and optimizations.
