If you look back at video codec history, CPU cycle questions were always on the table. The only difference is 20 years we didn't even know where the limits are, we thought we could infinitely scale, 10Ghz+ processors, or 64 Core CPU and parallelism would work out fine.
Now that we have reached a plateau, these questions becomes much more important.
