100 percent. The tech industry, in many respects, is stagnant. The cell phone market has almost no innovation (yeah OLED's, face ID, machine learning, neural networking, fingerprint sensor under screen) but by and large, each year's flagship is basically the same thing they've been for years. As for computers CPU's haven't advanced much, mobos are basically the same, and ram is the same. GPU's continue to advance but AMD's inability to compete has stunted that rate of advance.
The industry needs a paradigm shift and I think it comes in 2 forms: graphene and quantum computing.
Graphene is a few years out. I invest heavily in graphene stocks, knowing that they will soon supplant silicon once we are unable to reduce die size (depends how long Intel and AMD take to go down to 5nm or whatever is the limit). Quantum computing is gaining traction, with Intel's 49 qbit chip. This will take longer to develop but once it does it will be like the invention of the computer all over again.
Anyway I digress. I'm a performance nut as well but I only upgrade if my computer isn't handling my workload (gaming). I ran with an i7 920 for 10 years (literally until it was starting to fail). Optane's performance may not provide a tangible difference in most use case scenarios and probably won't. It's mainly targeted for enterprise solutions anyway.
It's all about software not hardware these days.
Bought my first Nvidia GPU in a decade this past September. They've been competing decently (and even "winning" some generations) up until Vega vs Pascal. Hence my 1080.
