I got a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4G of RAM. It is so much faster at booting and logging in than my Mac Pro, by far. And that Mac Pro has a whole lot more cores and memory, etc. How much LESS am I getting out of of the Raspberry Pi? I'm not exactly sure. I just know I can reboot in seconds and get back online while my Mac is still be showing that stupid grey logo screen. Of course, the Raspberry Pi can't come close to running Logic Audio and 5 virtual machines simultaneously doing other things in the background as I generally do on that Mac. But the boot up to useful state speed metric favours the much lower spec'd device by far. For daily stuff like going from OFF to editing an office document, the Mac is sloth slow. It's a very interesting and wide divergence of competencies when it comes to performance and ability. We are definitely witnessing the later part of the Law of Diminished Returns when it comes to updating and upgrading computer equipment. I can't say whether or not we've reached the apex, but we sure are close if we haven't. Today, anyone can have a super computer. But nearly nobody does.
