The power envelope has peaked, we can save energy by reducing nm at great cost but not increase peak performance.
This means nobody will have to buy any new anything except if they break (or real electricity price explodes), which leads to planned obsolecence.
1000 hour light bulb but for computers.
So the impacts are going to be enormous, f.ex. I'm not going into Pi 5 at all, my stack is entirely comprised of Pi 2 (32-bit) and Pi 4 on server and Zero 1 (32-bit) for portable for eternity with 32-bit OS on all (because 4GB RAM per process fits nicely with 8GB RAM (4 for OS and 4 for my server)).
GPU interfaces will NEVER be 64-bit. Hell they wont be 16-bit either.
RAM and storage media has also peaked, in both speed, size per watt and latency (when they increase bandwith they also get latency, DDR3 was the fastest RAM in history). Where is my 2TB microSD card?
It's 100% completely over with progress for the rest of human existence.
By the by global population acceleration peaked in 1968 PERMANENTLY.
This means we have to manufacture the last SoC now immediately at huge scale so that we get cost benefits and spread devices that will never become obsolete before manufacturers make devices frail on purpose to survive economically.
JH7110 is the best SoC right now in terms of getting into that space (with all considerations included: openess, long term price etc.) IF the promised GPU driver arrives in May.
Imagination was bought by Chinas governement when Apple dropped PowerVR from Apple SoCs.
Raspberry can stay comfortable only as long as Imagination does not deliver. The clock is ticking.
