Even if you solely consider moore's law (even if it has slowed down slightly)the post's title will hold true

I'm not sure if anyone agrees with me, but I feel like software development will outweigh the need for significantly faster chips over the next 5-10 years. It seems like all the buzz has been about machine learning, signal processing, software defined networking and online education rather than the latest and greatest from AMD/Intel. That's not to say new hardware development isn't necessary, it just seems like there's greater potential for software development in the coming years.

But machine learning, signal processing, software defined networking are exactly the fields that use non intel/amd processors, and see a lot of development effort that goes into unique hardware architectures.

That's been going on for a while. Algorithms have advanced even faster than Moore's Law.
