I summarized these topics and more as a plenary conference talk, including my own predictions (as a senior performance engineer) for the future of computing performance, with a focus on back-end servers. Ford, et al., “TCP

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

If you put your whole website on CDN, technically you don’t need a large number of server infrastructure and CMS licenses. Using CDN for the whole website, you can offload most of the website traffic to your CDN which will handle not only large traffic spikes but also reduce the latency of content delivery.

If performance is a problem, we can do progressive enhancement through Server-Side Rendering. I can count on one hand the number of teams I’ve worked with who have goals that allow them to block launches for latency regressions, including Google products. That unzips to roughly 2MB of script.

If those specs sound eerily familiar, it's perhaps because they're identical to 2016's $200USD Moto G4 , all the way down to the 2011-vintage 28nm SoC process node used to fab the chip's anemic, 2012-vintage A53 cores. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge.
