The 9900k appears to have similar compute throughput to a Top 500 supercomputer from 2004, a time when my Northwood P4 with 512MB RAM, and Radeon 8500 were quite comfortable running Firefox at 1600x1200 @ 85hz.
A 9900K + 32G quite frankly represents an embarrassment of computing riches and the marginal improvements in end-user experience since then (mostly in the form of additional screen real estate) betray just how little we've done with that compute that truly benefits the user.
