So, even without Moore's law, it's better to improve percentage efficiencies at a few highly leveraged points, rather than at every point. A percentage improvement in the processor, gives improvement for all customers, and for all layers of their stack, all parts of their software, every line of code: OS, DB, language, stdlibs, third-party libraries, in-house libraries, yesterday's code, code you're writing write now. I unpack that so much to show how much benefit it gives, and that, perhaps even a tiny percentage benefit... 1%? 0.1? 0.001? etc? ... might still be a win...
