Which makes total sense because single thread performance is growing more slowly these days. Used to be you'd double every couple of years but today the midrange is only about 50% faster single threaded than it was in '16. Now if you count all the cores you're still seeing things more than double over that time. Compare these similarly priced CPUs from today and a few years ago: i5-6500 and i5-10500. The latter is maybe 30-40% faster single threaded but has more than double the parallel throughput.
