-flash memory have gotten fast enough that it's hard to tell one SSD from another, and even massively faster NVME drives on paper don't offer the same leap in performance that SSDs gave from spinning disks
-memory capacity has grown large enough to match software needs for many years to come
The only thing that still has significant leaps in performance are video cards.

The switch to 7nm on GPU chips in the near future could be what's needed to drive that 4k resolution some people seem to hyped on, personally I'm happy with 1440p.
Intels new stacked storage tech looks pretty impressive as well, but like you said compared to the jump from disc to solid it wont be as jarring.
