There is no real need for new comuter hardware. Computer hardware, for more than decade, have more than enogh power for any real tasks you could imagine.
This is the small dirty secret of everything you observe in IT.
We absolutely don't need more powerful computers than those we had 10-15 years ago. But hardware manufacturers want to force us buy new stuff as often as possible. Hardware manufacturers pay gamedev, webdev and other bloatware manufacturers to make their products lag on current computers, eat all memory and so on. Customers forced to buy new hardware and cycle repeats.
But greed have no limits. Now it is not enough to force people to buy unnecessary hardware, hard&soft kagal created artificial markets for infinite amount of hard and soft, like "AI" hoax, like "quantum computers" hoax (already failing) and so on. This artificial markets included in that hard&soft circlejerk in a giant money breeding boiler. There are also some side progects ongoing, like surveillance and population dumbification, but almost everything built around that small dirty secret of IT.
We use barely 10% of modern computers power for something useful, including entertainment. Other 90% of that computing power are collected as profits by corporations.
I hope, this new energy crisis will burst "AI" bubble and it will burst all other bubbles in IT. Then, you will suddenly find out that you don't need to buy new computer and smartphone every year, and software could run extremely fast with minimum memory demands even on decade old computers.
