Accelerator based computing is a tell that this is happening already. Shrinking everything down alone is not bringing the big speedups in performance-per-watt anymore, so what chip manufacturers do is putting as much ALUs as they can on the same die size, curbing lots of built-in management features in the process, that our software programming models have been built upon over the decades. Hardware is still getting faster at Moore's law, but only given constantly adapting software, i.e. "The Free Lunch Is Over"[1].
