What seems like an over–exaggeration to you? I agree that the time periods you mention saw different growth patterns and I would blame the stagnant software for the situation —it has slowly grown into the hardware with no real feature improvement. Even the current path to exponential RAM increases is a naked king —1T models are only slightly better than 1B models at following instructions.
