Arguable same across consumers too. It’s just harder to measure than central datacenters


nah, performance benefits are mostly wasted on consumers, because consumer hardware is very infrequently CPU-constrained. in a datacentre, a 1% improvement could actually mean you provision 99 CPUs instead of 100. but on your home computer, a 1% CPU improvement means that your network request completes 0.0001% faster, or your file access happens 0.000001% faster, and then your CPU goes back to being idle.

an unobservable benefit is not a benefit.
