It’s just harder to produce significant gains now. A 10% might be the result of all the chip giants giving it their absolute best. I wouldn’t draw conclusions

I wouldn’t draw conclusions about the level of competition simply based on the spread in performance.
Remember that with Olympic runners the spread is 100ths of a second. And yet the competition is fierce.
You may not be excited about a 10% improvement. I am not either. But that’s a different matter.
- zamadatix 2y agoThat doesn't make any sense when one to two races ago participants posted 20-25 percent gains and single core crowning performance is the same between the highest end desktop CPUs and a fanless iPad. Sure, it's not the 90s where the highest end CPU is doubled every 2 years. It's also not the point where 10% is because we've just hit the limit (like the mid 2010s when everyone was saying the same thing and it turned out there was plenty of generational gain achievable). This generation sucks for desktops, it's just how it is and not something we need to make excuses for.
