The thing that stuck out to me was the Geekbench score. 2,287 vs 6,350 over the course of a decade isn&#x27;t that impressive improvement. Given it&#x27;s reflective of what a computer can <i>do</i>, comparing metrics such as Ghz or gigaflops seems superfluous in the context to the average user. During the exponential improvement in 80&#x27;s or the 90&#x27;s, it seems like we have hit a brick wall.<p>Not to say there hasn&#x27;t been massive strides of improvement over the last decade, SSD and GPUs in particular have been spectacular. But many consumers have the decision they&#x27;ed oven rather have a power efficient processor than a heavy duty CPU.<p>As developers it means being conscious of bloat and writing more efficient software. Already we&#x27;re seeing many libraries that are closer to the hardware or &#x27;metal&#x27;.
