Technological improvements are greatly slowing down, in 20 years time the improvements will be far less than they were 20 years ago.
Eg take the earliest and the latest fastest common Intel processor of the i7 line.
Core i7-975 Extreme Edition released June 2009 6199 passmark CPU score
Core i7-7700K released January 2017 12196 passmark CPU score

In 8 years performance hasn't even doubled, maybe in 20 years time performance will have doubled again

The fastest Intel Processor from 20 years ago
Pentium II 300 I dont know what its passmark score is, probably about 20
