Compared to the amount of work that can be done using the original creation of the processor, the effort that was put to create the processor seem trivial. Mental work result in enhanced efficiency. These days anybody can drive a truck with tons of material across the country instead of carrying them on the back and walking. It takes a lot less effort to build that truck.

Indeed, consider how far and fast one gallon of gas will move a car compared to trying to push it with human power. Fossil fuels have made a lot of human labor obsolete.
Other developments are only going to make things better. Solar Panels with increased efficiency could continuously produce energy for decades after its initial creation. Zero Point Energy is pretty much going to eliminate all energy crisis but that'll take a lot of time.
and it takes a lot of resources.
