Nobody for whom absolute CPU power is paramount is crunching on a laptop anyway. The sorts of examples you cite are better off implemented on a grunty workstation or even cloud computing. If portable access is needed, remoting in is the answer.
- gaius 10y agoFor many people these days their laptop is their only computer and they value the ability to work without cheap, fast connectivity, while traveling say. You know, the entire use case for portable computers existing at all.

- sjwright 10y agoYou don't need to "own" a workstation to take advantage of cloud processing. It's the cloud. You rent the CPU cycles when you need them. And they can even be crunching away on your most difficult engineering simulations while you're mid-flight. The number of people on this planet who need to have 16+ cores of CPU power on the tray table of an aeroplane could probably be counted in single digits.
