Right.  In graphics production we have always found ways to use new CPU and I/O resources as they become available.  In 10 years you might be able to to today's work in the cloud, but then the future desktop will be much faster too and we'll find new things we want to do with that speed.

With word processing or spreadsheets you're basically doing the same work now as you were 10, even 20 years ago, so the cloud has been able to catch up.  Not so with what we do.

If it’s possible to build a computer in 5 years that fits in a tiny phone that’s as powerful as workstation today – it also means in 5 years a that same CPU technology will power a desktop 5 times as powerful as that phone for probably the same money or less.
