The thing that stuck out to me was the Geekbench score. 2,287 vs 6,350 over the course of a decade isn't that impressive improvement. Given it's reflective of what a computer can do, comparing metrics such as Ghz or gigaflops seems superfluous in the context to the average user. During the exponential improvement in 80's or the 90's, it seems like we have hit a brick wall. Not to say there hasn't been massive strides of improvement over the last decade, SSD and GPUs in particular have been spectacular. But many consumers have the decision they'ed oven rather have a power efficient processor than a heavy duty CPU. As developers it means being conscious of bloat and writing more efficient software. Already we're seeing many libraries that are closer to the hardware or 'metal'.
