Although I know it’s an apocryphal quote, I am reminded of “640K should be enough for anybody.”

The Intel 4004, in 1971, had only 2,250 transistors.

A handful of qubits today might become a billion sooner than you think.

it took until 2011 before Sandy bridge cracked 2 billion. If we get 40 years of quantum resistance from 1GB RSA, that would be pretty great.
