I don't get this, is there a world where we need fewer cpu/ram/ssds in the future?

Like, there's so many things that could benefit from a cheap processor involved in their operation, the growth seems effectively unlimited.

There's definitely a world where we need newer products, but not as many or as fast in iteration. My gaming PC has 128GB of RAM... And I built it years ago when RAM was laughably cheap. I still never touch the sides on it.

Ok sure, assuning your gaming machine lasts 5-10 years, what about everyone else who is born (or turns 18 or whatever) during that timespan?
