not happening in any of our lifetimes.... And I'm the guy saying new tech are around the corner when people say it's 20 years out... But just a server farm power is powerful enough to be unstainable on a single computer for decades to come...but if you know how azure works it just takes that already crazy number to entire new level.... Azure has virtually no compute power boundaries... It just ads up as many servers or even server clusters as you need... It scales to how much you need with virtually no limit and considering the size of MS server farm in the hundred of thousands you are not getting that on a single PC anytime soon and probably ever...
plus the future is cloud computing... With ever growing bandwidth and shrinking latency one day there will be no point in having a powerful computer when all you'll really need is a good terminal and a big connection... What we will see is home servers or even building servers (it'll be standard in apartment complex one day) and a bunch of terminals that connect to it... Cheaper more efficient etc... But a PC chip that can replace azure let alone a single server farm... Not happening (I don't think you realize the compute power it represents) you could put a thousand i7 last gen CPU with max ddr4 ram and 4 titan SLI and still not match what a single MS farm compute power can output...
