It'll continue because nothing has changed that would cause it to change.
I said that heatsinks aren't getting much better. I'm saying that wattage will stay the same. Not increasing or decreasing generally, wattage will drop each time we go to a new size, then wattage will increase as those cores get higher MHz ratings.
I agree with you on laptops, heat disapation and battery life are major factors holding laptop speed back. But for all intents and puposes they no longer play a role in desktop developement.Processors are already being made solely for laptops and their limitations.
People have always wanted quite computers, but that hasn't stopped fans getting bigger and faster on heatsinks.
