This pattern isn't unique to Apple computers. I upgraded my 4th gen Intel machine to a 14th gen last years (mobo finally crapped out), and it's by far the most underwhelming upgrade I've ever done. Sure it's faster some of the time, but in general use (not compiling or encoding) it doesn't feel much different. I remember going from a 100MHz 486 to a 300MHz AMD K6 in my youth, and then to 900MHz Tbird. That was some upgrades you could feel!
- jwells89 2y agoUpgrades definitely used to be felt more readily. Back through the late 90s and early 2000s, on my track of 200Mhz 603ev → 400Mhz G3 → 1Ghz G4 → 2Ghz G5 → 2.66Ghz i5 750, each was substantial, especially during the latter half.
