They might possibly be able to produce more power full chips. But will 
there still be a reason to buy them?

My motherboard recently came to a halt, and I had to choose whether if I 
should upgrade the entire machine, or just the motherboard.

I choose the motherboard only solution, as my 1.2 GHz machine is already 
plenty fast for my needs.

I can watch and edit video at professional quality, compose music, play 
a few games and generally do what I need to. So why should I buy a 
faster chip at a higher price?

Generally I believe there is natural technological plateau for most of 
the current technological tasks.

    bussines (text editing/spreadsheets) -> music -> video -> vr games etc.

Bussines computers have already been fast enough for a while for typical 
use. We will soon have chips at a level where all current tasks can be 
done on a cheap system. Why then bother to pay more?

I think that new technology is needed before there will be a great need 
for much faster computers.
