Perhaps. Too bad we hit a GHZ wall, so the only thing we can do now is add more cores.
FYI: For 6K and 8K, both nVidia and AMD tech reps have said that "multi-GPU" (not CORE) solutions will be required to reach those. But they also said once they hit 16K, they'll have "real eye quality" in terms of DPI which comes with lots of extra "realism" for free. Like, watch the new Jungle Book in 4K and certain scenes of mountains will blow your mind and feel "real" (without any 3d glasses) and your brain is like "holy shit, I'm not watching a movie (for this split second), this is something real." But most scenes still don't. We're so close to photorealistic, I can taste it! (Like that GTA 5 photorealism mod on HN yesterday.)
That's why they're all moving to Vulkan. OpenGL is single-threaded and a PITA to easily exploit multiple GPU solutions. (Global state, one draw thread.)
